Most procurement problems aren’t caused by bad decisions; they’re caused by lack of visibility.

Eric Helitzer breaks down what procurement visibility actually means on a job site—and why getting it right directly impacts your budget, your timeline, and your team's ability to make good calls. Many people assume they have a bad team, are making bad decisions, or simply get caught in a wave of bad luck. But Eric shows how most issues teams face with procurement can be solved by having a centralized procurement system that increases visibility for every member of the team.

He walks through a real example of what broken procurement looks like—missed POs, duplicate invoices, hours spent chasing paperwork—then shows exactly what a clean system looks like instead and what it takes to get there. If your team is reacting to procurement problems instead of preventing them, this episode is worth your time.
