E-Procurement and Systems
Automation is the key to modern business. Organisations are looking for ways to automate Procurement processes, connect to their supply base quicker, and improve overall supply chain mechanisms.
Bill Gates
“Automation applied to an inefficient operation will magnify the inefficiency.”
A popular choice to do this is e-Procurement. Electronic enabling of Procurement can take many shapes and forms, but the goal is the same: Reduce the costs of Procurement and supply chain processes, while introducing a positive culture change in the organisation. However, considering the large number of e-Procurement and e-Sourcing solutions available to Procurement professionals, finding the best tool to fit your needs can be as complex as the issues they are meant to fix. From simple online order processing through supplier managed catalogs, to complex procure-to-pay systems, opportunities exist for business looking to source e-Procurement software licensing or expand their hosting options for those who know where to look – so how can Procurement find the right tool for the job?
