why E-procurement?

Organisations turn to e-Procurement systems to control, simplify and automate the purchase
of goods and services from multiple suppliers. They also are deploying e-procurement to
control inventories more effectively, reduce purchasing overheads, reduce or remove brokerage
costs as well as improve manufacturing cycles.

The key is to find the right products from the right supplier, at the right time and at the most
competitive price, as well as to ensure the appropriate responsiveness and service levels for your
business purchasing needs.

Often a company might find itself a niche with a proven set of customers and encourage others in
a similar field to join them on-line as the business case is proven. Concurrently they may find their
client base grows with more customers keen to capitalize on the benefits as savings and
efficiencies become obvious. Medium to large sized organizations and government departments
that regularly purchase the same products from a limited number of companies are ideal
candidates for e-Procurement....Quinnox
