You need efficiency and simplicity in your purchasing systems, and we understand that. That's why we offer a variety of e-catalog solutions tailored to your needs.
eProcurement is an electronic system that gives you digital access to every step of the buying journey, from looking for your product in our catalog to placing the order and getting your invoice.
We work with many providers, including:
We can offer you e-purchase orders and e-invoices that can be sent by email or set up as EDI/cXML.

We find that an individual approach is necessary for each customer so that we can cater to your unique requirements. A typically setup process would consist of three main steps:
1. Evaluation of your organization's requirements
2. Implementation and testing of the system
3. Switching to a live environment
We are happy to go through all of the steps in more detail, answer any technical questions you may have, and of course help you decide which solution is the best for you.

Please note, establishing an eProcurement system requires a degree of technical infrastructure. For an e-catalog to be stored and electronic messages to be sent, eProcurement systems or platforms are required – these can be from an external provider or your in-house procurement software. We have plenty of experience working with various platforms around the world.
