Introduction 

E-Procurement is the purchase of goods or services electronically and is an integral part of an overall strategic procurement plan in the current business environment. The plan includes, but is not limited to strategic sourcing or supplier rationalization, supply chain automation, and participation in one or more market-places. The commodities purchased can be operational resources (non-production) or production resources (raw materials).

E-Procurement frees up the buyer’s time to pursue strategic initiatives, like total cost reduction and continuous improvement, and building collaborative relationships with suppliers. It provides the means to efficiently manage these new relationships and facilitate the synthesis of suppliers into the organization’s supply chain. This leads to ever increasing velocity in the supply chain, translating to the company’s leadership in the market.
