Group Procurement Challenges

Limited by organizational and technical conditions

Individual information systems cannot support the group’s procurement business. Besides, the procurement department of each branch does their own businesses, so the advantage of centralized procurement has not been utilized. The traditional ERP system lacks a functional module in the area of procurement, which means it basically covers order coordination within the group but it fails to support information connection and communication with suppliers.

The management of Procurement Department is weak and there is a lack of supervision during the process

The process of procurement involves many procedures, making it impossible to get access and save the accurate processing data. Most enterprises will monitor or trace the data after the process of procurement, which easily leads to procurement risks. Plus, enterprises lack sound supervising methods for procurement management, so they cannot track the procurement data, which is likely to cause blind spots in supervision.

Traditional procurement method is lagging behind

The traditional sourcing method for procurement relies on the purchasing agent’s subjective initiative. However, the method has a heavy workload and is inefficient. Traditional bidding process requires the participation of a lot of personnel, so the cross-department workload is huge. The traditional method of executing orders relies on follow-up of the purchasing agent, but offline communication is inefficient and often yields no results, which means that data is unsystematic and hard to be traced. Shortcomings of traditional procurement methods are exposed completely.

The procurement procedure lacks feasible rules and regulations

The rules and regulations of procurement management focus too much on its form, so while people are undertaking procurement, they cannot refer to the rules and regulations. Besides, the executive procedure is not standardized, the evaluation standard is not unified, while the procurement procedure is not refined and the connection between upstream and downstream is not smooth. From supplier access, bidding, inquiry and quotation at the front stage, to order execution, good delivery, warehousing, receipt issuance, balance check, financial payment and supplier evaluation at the back stage, the whole process lacks information connection.

Basic procurement data are separately managed so there is no unified standard

Generally speaking, procurement materials are managed in the enterprise’s procurement system such as ERP and OA. However, as systems are established separately, information cannot be integrated together, forming individual information islands. Since data and procedures cannot be matched, a lot of offline communication is needed, which is inefficient and has a high error rate.

Procurement mall for self-procurement

Procurement can be done at the procurement mall when enterprises plan to procure office supplies, materials of low value, consumables, MRO and materials for production. Enterprises are able to build their own procurement mall or provide a link that connects to an external shopping mall. This solution helps enterprises to procure general materials for daily use in a clear manner.

Procurement coordination
