🌍 Supplier vs. Vendor - Do you know the difference?

I often see these two terms used interchangeably.
But in procurement, that small difference changes everything.

➡️ Here’s why:

🔵 Suppliers fuel production: 
They provide the raw materials that make manufacturing possible.

🔵 Vendors fuel consumption: 
They deliver finished goods to the end customer.

➡️ Understanding this distinction is more than just semantics — it shapes:

✅ How we build relationships.
✅ How contracts are structured.
✅ How value is created across the supply chain. 

Procurement professionals who understand where their partners stand; upstream or downstream.

Can unlock deeper collaboration, better efficiency, and more sustainable value.

Because procurement isn’t just about buying.

It’s about connecting every link in the value chain — from raw materials to real impact.
