The real value of the Internet comes from business-to-business transactions (B2B), buyer-vendor transactions that include e-procurement with a fully integrated electronic supply chain from customer to supplier. In fact, as e-procurement and supply chain software continue to evolve, the relative value to companies of online retailing will continue to shrink in relation to the enormous cost savings and fundamental restructuring of companies that will come about as a result of the evolution of web-based B2B and business-to-admin (B2A) activity.

E-procurement becomes the catalyst that will allow companies to integrate supply chain from end to end, from sales to supplier, from bidding to negotiation, with shared pricing, product attributes, availability, and performance data that will allow buyers and suppliers to work to optimum and mutually beneficial prices and schedules. According to current trend, e-procurement is the key to collaborative commerce and long business relationships.

After extensive research in the e-procurement marketplace, the Kelsar Development Center has started work on our integrated e-procurement solution – E-commerce Procurement Management (EPM). This product supports organizational purchasing and e-sourcing activity and can be integrated to existing ERP systems.
