Here are some of the advantages of E-procurement to your business.
Save money by reducing fraudulent spending, spending over the approved Budget, consolidating similar orders to take advantage of bulk discounts or from negotiated discounts received from Suppliers since you can easily see how much you spend with them.
Eliminate delays that arise from manual intervention and busy schedule of approvers.
Get real-time visibility where it matters, such as approvals that take the longest, Suppliers you buy from often for better negotiation, time spent to pay invoices so you can take advantage of early pay discounts and optimize cash flow, etc.
Keep the team away from either buying items without proper approvals, or buying a different item than what was approved.
Faster turnaround time from automated processes means happier stakeholders!
You gain greater flexibility and control over every aspect of your purchasing process and determine who can raise orders, approve, receive and pay for items.
Mitigate supply chain risks from reduced processing time, purchase-to-pay cycle and through enabling procurement teams to buy smarter.
Reduce operational risk of duplicate payments and off-catalog purchases through seamless collaboration.
Enforce policies to ensure that buyers abide by budgets, processes, and product restrictions.
Consolidate all purchase transactions, communication, and collaboration in one place by eliminating data silos, disparate and disconnected system that lack clarity, prolong procurement cycles and cause opportunity losses.

Eliminate the possibility of duplicate payments by ensuring line-item quantities, product descriptions and per-unit pricing on the invoice match those of the purchase order and the actual goods received.
You get to audit every transaction, keep track of every purchasing activity touchpoint that provides detailed trail of exactly who did what and when.
