Cost/Benefit ratio
❌ DO NOT AUTOMATE
Strategic supplier negotiation requires human judgment, commercial intuition, and relationship-building. Only 20% (meeting scheduling, agreement logging, contract expiration alerts) is automatable. The ROI in year 1 is negative (-14%). The investment would only be recovered in more than 8 years for this process alone. We recommend prioritizing other processes first.
Signs of inefficiency detected
• Contract expiration dates without automatic alerts (this part can be automated)
