eProcurement benefits
Value Drivers

Pain Points

Mitigation/Savings Estimates

1

Improved Process Efficiency

• Long lead times due
to high manual processing,
1/3 time spent reviewing
manual requisitions

2

Reduced Product/Process
Costs

• High transaction costs
• Long supplier negotiations
• Non contract compliance
drives up price

Purchase requisition processing expense reduction up to
73%; price of goods 5%-10%
less on average

• Fragmented data

Data integrity is improved
through contract compliance,
strengthening a company’s
supplier negotiation leverage

3

Improved Compliance

4

Reduced Maverick
Purchasing

5

Reduced Inventory Costs

9

• Unreliable/inaccurate data

Purchase requisition processing time reduction of 70%-80%;
averaging a week faster

• Rampant off-contract spend
(approximately 27% of
indirect spend)

Maverick spending decreases
up to 51%

• Long lead times result in
purchase of large safety
stocks

Inventory expense reduction
between 25% - 50%

e-Procurement for Public Sector
e-Procurement, a significant opportunity within E-Governance
Government – an attractive case for e-Procurement
Probably the “single largest buyer” of goods and services in a state

Serious initiatives underway from AustralAsia to Europe to USA
Important Value Drivers
 Potential savings – aggregated demand
 Cost reduction – process efficiency
 Compliance

Attractive business models – Public Private Partnership (PPP)
As many as 42 states in the USA, in addition to the Federal Government, will
embark on some form of e-Procurement project by 2004 (Gartner)
