Even though ERP systems help in managing procurement transactions, organizations are still facing a lot of challenges in streamlining and standardizing their procurement processes. According to a recent survey conducted by IACCM, the top limiting factors in procurement include inadequate support for managing supplier relationship and performance management, inconsistent procurement processes, lack of visibility into the processes, lack of technology that can support a flexible procurement implementation and enforcing policies. It is very essential that organizations have to focus on implementing a technology and business solutions platform that can overcome these issues and help gain positive impact on the procurement bottom line.

Given this, organizations have to focus on implementing a solution that is capable of extending procurement across the organization with flexible workflows and processes. Moreover, higher benefits and value of the procurement processes can be achieved by enabling users to easily create requisitions, collaborate with peers on various procurement related data, information and documents, get a 360 degree view of products and suppliers, provide ratings and feedback on suppliers and deliver better visibility to the decision makers around procurement processes.

We will also provide a live walkthrough of eProcure, a collaborative and self service based requisitioning and procurement management solution which will help in centralizing and standardizing procurement processes for your organization.
