What is e-procurement?
E-procurement stands for the electronic procurement of products and services by B2B companies in the form of a digital data exchange. The use of an e-procurement system for this data transfer enables companies to digitalise and automate their entire value chain in procurement management. This results in more effective control of all procurement processes such as offer management, approval management, transaction management, payment or tracking, as processes are greatly simplified, accelerated and made more transparent.
