E-Procurement at Work: A Case Study

What Is E-Procurement?

The Internet has had revolutionary effects on corporate purchasing practices. It recently became a major enabler of significant productivity improvements in various businesses. The companies offering so-callede-procurement solutions are positioning themselves as generators of considerable cost savings for those manufacturers consuming the largest share of the economy’s tangible inputs. The overall productivity of the manufacturers often depends on their efficiency in purchasing those inputs.

E-Procurement At Work: A Case Study

E-procurement sites, also known as business-tobusiness (B2B) marketplaces, electronic supply chains, trading hubs, or trading communities, are essentially Web-based procurement networks in which one or more companies try to source their suppliers at the lowest costs possible [14]. From a conceptual standpoint, e-procurement does what tendering, its preInternet world analogy, has been doing—it helps companies source input products and services at the lowest cost, while ensuring that those inputs meet technical and other (tender) specifications [14]. By making his process Web-based, e-procurement solution providers are changing the process in ways that go far beyond its mere computerization and automation.

The Rise and Future of E-Procurement

The emergence of B2B marketplaces, although not unexpected, has been very fast paced. In the second half of 1999, B2B e-commerce suddenly began to mean much more than end-consumer-oriented online auctions and digital versions of product catalogs. Despite the fact that it is in its infancy, e-procurement managed to reach about $145 billion in transactions in 1999. Click here to read more…
