What is e-procurement?

The Procurement Department of any organization is under ever increasing pressure to source more products, more quantities and more efficiently.

The Procurement Department is also measured on purchasing costs. This one key area that procurement have control over, usually creates an environment where the only perceived savings are those created by purchasing the cheapest product to do the job. Sometimes this works, however in a lot of cases, especially in safety, it is not what has been specified by Occupational Safety & Health.

However, Procurement Departments now have access to cost savings for the company by using fully integrated EDI procurement systems. How often have we been told that “The cost to raise a purchase order is $$$$$$”. Companies say the cost is $50.00 and some say it can be $100.00. We say it should be $0.06 cents

Online ordering has been around for years. However companies do not want to

1. House their own catalogue within their system.
2. Raise a purchase order in their system
3. Recreate the order again in the Online Ordering System.

This is double handling. Not very efficient

What if all of this could be done at the same time and in addition allow the system to arrange the payment and pay the invoice electronically.

Now that's where companies can really save money!
