About GetYourPurchasingDocuments.com
GetYourPurchasingDocuments.com exists for one simple reason: To serve manufacturers, distributors, service organizations, and growing businesses that need structure, discipline, and control in how purchases are generated, authorized and suppliers engaged.
If your company is growing and purchasing still runs on emails, spreadsheets, or verbal approvals and nobody questions the suppliers, you’re likely losing money in places you can’t fully see yet. You may be paying too much … Carrying too much inventory … or reacting to supplier problems instead of preventing them.
That’s where I come in. I help manufacturers in the $20M–$500M range, companies that have outgrown informal buying practices but haven’t yet built a real procurement function. The messy middle, where the biggest gains are hiding.
I work with companies to …
- Reduce material and supplier costs
- Improve EBIT and working capital, and
- Strengthen supplier accountability bringing order to the full procure-to-pay (P2P) process.
Across companies like Siemens, Sanmina, and Corelab/Owen Oil Tools, I’ve built strategic and tactical procurement operations from the ground up, improved on-time shipments from 71% to 98% in 6 months, and delivered $160 M in ‘bottom-line’ savings across complex manufacturing environments.
Built by a Practitioner, not a Publisher
The documents on this site were not written by marketers or theorists guessing how procurement “should” work. They were built by a career procurement and supply chain professional with formal business education, recognized industry certifications, and decades of hands-on experience in real operations.
That background includes on-the-job leadership roles spanning small entrepreneurial companies, mid-sized manufacturers, and large global corporations with complex supplier networks and regulatory exposure.
This experience matters. It means every template, log, and framework on this site has been pressure-tested in environments where supplies miss commitments and downtime costs real money. These tools were built to survive executive reviews, and operational reality, not just look good on a screen.
Procurement Best Practices, Made Practical
I believe procurement best practices should be usable, not aspirational. Many companies understand what should happen in theory, but struggle to translate that knowledge into daily execution. That gap is exactly where risk, overspending, and supplier confusion take root.
My philosophy is anchored in recognizing real (authorized) demand and (proper) approval authority resulting in a defined supplier commitment ending with verified receipt and payment. When any part of that loop is missing, organizations lose ‘spend visibility’ that weakens purchasing controls and invites errors that show up later as financial surprises.
For companies that want to move faster on their own, GetYourPurchasingDocuments.com offers ready-made procurement tools and templates built from real-world experience, not theory. Each document comes with field definitions and descriptions. In addition, there is free consulting provided with the purchase of any form.
For companies that need hands-on help, I consult directly to assess challenges and build a stronger procurement foundation.
