E-procurement

1 E-procurement (electronic procurement, sometimes also known as supplier

exchange) is the business-to-business or business-to-consumer or business-to-

government purchase and sale of supplies, work, and services through the Internet as well as other information and networking systems, such as electronic

data interchange and enterprise resource planning.


E-procurement

1 The e-procurement value chain consists of indent management, eTendering, eAuctioning, vendor

management, catalogue management, Purchase Order Integration, Order Status, Ship

Notice, eInvoicing, ePayment, and contract management


E-procurement

1 Elements of e-procurement include request for information, request for proposal, request for quotation, RFx (the previous three together), and eRFx (software for managing RFx

projects).


E-procurement - In the public sector

1 Public sector organisations use e-procurement for contracts to achieve benefits such as increased efficiency and cost savings

(faster and cheaper) in government procurement and improved transparency (to reduce corruption) in procurement services. E-procurement in the public sector has seen

rapid growth in recent years. Act 590 of Louisiana's 2008 Regular Legislative Session

requires political subdivisions to make provisions for the receipt of electronic bids.


E-procurement - In the public sector

1 E-procurement in the public sector is emerging internationally. Hence, initiatives have been implemented in Singapore, UK,

USA, Malaysia, Australia and European Union. E-procurement projects are often part of the country’s larger e-Government efforts to better serve its citizens and businesses in

the digital economy. For example, Singapore’s GeBIZ was implemented as one of the programmes under its e-Government

masterplan.


E-procurement - Vendors

1 This field is populated by two types of vendors: big enterprise resource

planning (ERP) providers which offer e-procurement as one of their

services, and the more affordable services focused specifically of e-

procurement.


E-procurement - E-procurement systems

1 An e-procurement system manages tenders through a web site. This can be accessed

anywhere globally and has greatly improved the accessibility of tenders. An

example is the System for Acquisition Management (SAM), which on July 30, 2013

combined information from the former Central Contractor Registration and Online

Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA), in the United States.

Spend management

1 In an enterprise, spend management is managing how to spend money to best

effect in order to build products and services. The term is intended to

encompass such processes as outsourcing, procurement, e-procurement, and supply

chain management. Since the "spend manager" could have a significant impact

on a company's results, it has been advocated that this manager have a senior

voice in running the company.https://store.theartofservice.com/The E-Procurement Toolkit.html

Spend management - Spend management systems

1 Most recently, companies have been utilizing new tools such as e-sourcing (for

bidding and reverse auction), e-procurement (to control and monitor

purchasing activities and contracts), and e-spend analytics (to gain insight into how

much money is being spent on what types of services or products). Some tools are also

addressing the entire spending chain, or purchase-to-pay cycle. Some of the newer

spend management solutions arehttps://store.theartofservice.com/The E-Procurement Toolkit.html

Electronic commerce - Types of e-commerce

1 Web-based purchasing policies increase the transparency of the

procurement process (and reduces the risk of irregularities). To date, however, the size of the B2G e-

commerce market as a component of total e-commerce is insignificant, as government e-procurement systems

remain undeveloped.

that emerged as Internet applications became used more widely in business. Although it does not necessarily refer

directly to the application of technology to the purchasing process, it is most often used in relation to applications like e-procurement and ERP purchasing and

payment modules.https://store.theartofservice.com/The E-Procurement Toolkit.html

Purchase-to-pay - A discipline in its own right

1 This was driven primarily by the supply chain software vendors and

consultants as well as by governments who had recognised

and enthusiastically embraced concepts like e-procurement

auction', 'e-auction', 'sourcing event', 'e-sourcing' or 'eRA', 'eRFP', 'e-RFO', 'e-procurement', 'B2B Auction') used

in government or private sector Tendering|procurement.

sourcing and other supply management activities.

wholesale and drop shipping services to both companies and individuals. This is largely due to the increasing ease of e-procurement and the growing part that the internet is playing in e-commerce. Drop ship suppliers based in

China have increasingly been able to compete with same-country distributors because of improved logistics for small

packets and the easing of trade barriers.
