Services are a broad sourcing category, including anything from facility and maintenance services to a company's legal counsel and wireless calling plans. The efficient sourcing of services can be extremely difficult to manage because of the customization inherent in a service provider's offerings. And more so than any other category, the buying of services is almost entirely focused on buying value.

Understanding the Value vs. Cost trade-offs of buying services can be extremely challenging. As such, services are an area where Expressive Commerce can be a highly effective strategy for identifying the absolute best mix of providers and services.
