Force Intellect e-Procurement solution

What is eProcurement?

Electronic procurement popularly known as e-Procurement or eProcurement basically means purchase and sale of goods or services online. e-Procurement involves automating manual procurement process from the requisition of raw materials, consumable & capital items or goods and services right up to the issue of purchase order.

Traditionally, procurement was manual, paper based, involved getting quotes, approvals from finance, preparing purchase orders, writing contracts, negotiations, bidding etc. The traditional process lacked transparency, was long and time consuming. eProcurement has gained great significance in manufacturing industry because it has helped eliminate inefficiencies and challenges of traditional procurement.
