Purchasing: the starting point of the production and sales cycle of the enterprise

How to minimize the procurement cost will directly affect the economic benefits of the enterprise. Authoritative statistics show that the procurement link saves 1%, corporate profits will increase by 5% to 10%, and the management of procurement links has become a key factor in reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

"Internet +" helps traditional procurement transformation and upgrading

Corporate procurement is different from personal procurement. In addition to paying attention to price and delivery, it also requires enterprises to upgrade their comprehensive service capabilities. Although the Internetization of corporate procurement in China started late, the development speed in the past two years is very fast. Adapt to the actual needs of the current rapid development of enterprises. Xia Yu, vice president of Focus Technology and president of Baizhuo Purchasing Network, said that the “pain” of the traditional procurement model is the first to “pain” in the complicated process. Every purchase must be complicated by inquiry, quotation, bidding, bidding, negotiation, etc. Process, the coordination of internal and external management systems is also time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inefficient; secondly, the supplier's ability to find sources is weak. The evaluation, selection, and certification of many suppliers require a lot of effort to complete, and encounter urgent needs. The slow response of suppliers often leads to blind procurement and increased procurement costs. Once again, the company needs a wide variety of materials, specifications and models are very complex, and the professional requirements of procurement personnel are high, and the human resources of enterprises are large. For small and medium-sized enterprises. The strength of the upstream and downstream of the supply chain is disparate, the procurement and supply conditions are harsh, and the bargaining power is weak, which brings a large amount of accounts receivable, resulting in poor operation of the capital chain. From this point of view, the pain caused by traditional procurement to business operations has continued. The shortcomings of traditional procurement are becoming more and more obvious compared to the Internet procurement model. As an open platform, the Internet and information economy can quickly and efficiently deliver transaction prices and information, making traditional procurement simple, data-based, transparent, and efficient, bringing innovation and change to traditional procurement.
