The procurement of goods and services occupies significant market share in both private and state operations, but manual procurement practices are outdated and costly, so it is only logical to aim at optimization and streamlining procurement by moving it to the web. E-procurement, or electronic procurement, is a web-based technology for electronic tendering process that encourages recognised best practices and benefits both buyers and suppliers. It offers a secure dynamic environment for procurements of any type, size, complexity or value.
Application of e-procurement system will result in decreased procurement cycle time and potential cost savings for both parties. Other huge benefit of using such system is better access to business opportunities, since more companies will be able to find and take part in tendering.
Of course there is no one universal procurement solution that will fit requirements of each organization. Some e-procurement software has many features and is intended for huge corporations, while other is smaller and more confined aimed at small- and medium-sized businesses. The same is true for public procurement, it depends on size and economic regulations of particular state.
