– Safeguard Your Bottom-Line: Strategies to Combat Margin Erosion and Drive Growth
Heidi Banks, Vice President Global Supply Chain & Executive Engagement Partner, Jabil Circuit, Inc

As it becomes clear that short-term or one-off measures don’t prevent margin erosion, total spend management is emerging as a reliable, sustainable, and comprehensive approach to ensuring profitable growth. With increased visibility across all spend types, from cost of goods sold (COGS) to operating expenses, finance and procurement leaders are better equipped to help fund their company’s growth through ongoing and disciplined spend control. In this session, we’ll explore effective strategies to identify and act on the most meaningful cost and efficiency savings opportunities to drive better outcomes for margin optimization.

– Strategies for Aligning Business Planning with Supply Chain Design
Ann Benzon, Head of Zone Technical Logistics and LogOs, Kraft Heinz

Join us for an exciting session on optimizing supply chain and direct spend to maximize margin and minimize risk. In today’s ever-changing business landscape, changes are inevitable. It is crucial to adapt to global complexities before they happen. At Coupa, we enable the Adaptive Supply Chain, empowering enterprises to predict and act on disruptions before they occur. By doing so, we help businesses build resilience and optimize efficiencies, leading to a margin multiplier effect across the entire supply chain network.
