What is an enterprise centralized purchasing mall? Why do companies build their own centralized purchasing malls?

What is an enterprise centralized purchasing mall? First of all, we need to understand what an enterprise centralized purchasing is. Enterprise centralized purchasing is also called enterprise purchasing. Baidu Encyclopedia’s explanation of enterprise purchasing is: Enterprise purchasing is the most important and mainstream kind of purchasing in today’s market economy.

.

It is characterized by the purchase of large quantities of goods.

Centralized Purchasing Mall Enterprise Centralized Purchasing Mall literally means: a mall for centralized purchasing by enterprises.

For centralized procurement, from a procurement perspective, the same or similar products and services are put together for unified bidding, and then a centralized procurement behavior is carried out for each business department and branch of the company.

There is another understanding of centralized procurement in the industry: elevating the procurement team and power to the group company headquarters for management. Both of these are correct and both belong to centralized procurement.

Advantages of centralized procurement: First, fewer people can do more things, and centralized procurement or more needs can be managed by a few people. Therefore, it is easier to develop, evaluate, maintain, and manage corresponding suppliers.

, centralized demand, centralized management, and centralized suppliers are more conducive to enterprises implementing strategic procurement strategies.

Secondly, from a compliance perspective, reduce the company's compliance risks and improve the quality of suppliers. Because the number of suppliers is small, the entire procurement cost such as supplier management and relationship maintenance will be reduced or reduced.

Centralized procurement is a stage or goal that enterprises must go through, especially large and medium-sized enterprises and group enterprises.

Why should enterprises build their own centralized purchasing malls? Intelligent Cost Control 4.0 innovation proposes a new concept of scene integration, combines expense control with deep integration of consumption scenarios, and builds an independent non-production consumption centralized purchasing mall based on an open supply chain to help

For the first time, the company has gained control over external consumption links and closed the entire cost control management chain.

One-stop purchasing, upgrading employee experience. Dispersed purchasing by employees has always been the source of difficulty in managing costs. Leading companies have long tried to cooperate with TMC to achieve unified and standardized centralized purchasing within a limited range. On the one hand, they can obtain more favorable centralized purchasing.

Price, on the other hand, compresses the space for fraud to a certain extent.

However, the complexity of consumption scenarios and consumption needs determines that it is difficult for one or two suppliers to cover them all, and multiple system jumps and switches bring a bad experience to employee reservations, financial settlements, and service support.

Relying on the open supply chain platform, the "centralized purchasing mall" that carries the non-productive consumption of enterprises has emerged. It has transformed from a "small shop" to a "hypermarket". The consumption scenario has changed from scattered purchasing by employees to centralized consumption, and private reimbursement

Transformed into public payments.

In the centralized purchasing mall, employees can not only complete work-related consumption conveniently in one stop, but also do not need to advance funds or manage invoices generated by consumption, and the reimbursement experience has been greatly improved.

At the same time, the service standards, price levels, and consumption specifications of merchants in the "mall platform" are directly integrated into the company's internal control system, further strengthening the company's supply chain management capabilities.

Traceable expense control, optimizing expense control efficiency. When both parties and processes where expenses occur are placed in the mall, the company's existing expense control policies or measures have a basis for implementation.

From the compliance of procurement transaction objects, the rationality of the price of purchased goods, the necessity of procurement consumption, the standardization of the procurement process, to the intelligent matching of control nodes such as whether there is an application, whether there is approval, whether there is a budget, whether it exceeds the standard, etc.,

Then proceed to the collection of transaction data, the verification of settlement accounts, the recording of accounting data and the organization of archive data.

The centralized procurement mall spans time and space, jumps out of departmental positions, and completes the four-stream integration of invoice flow, capital flow, contract flow, and goods flow in a digital form, making up for the lack of in-process consumption control under the 3.0 fee control jump mode, allowing

The intelligent expense control 4.0 model breaks through the tradition and realizes for the first time a comprehensive expense control model for the entire process from budgeting, application, approval, consumption to reimbursement, settlement, accounting, archiving, analysis, etc.

The comprehensive cost control model of the whole process is based on the mall to collect complete data of corporate consumption, and the platform automatically and intelligently analyzes and outputs reasonable consumption and procurement suggestions: l? On the supply side, continuously optimize the supply of goods and prices, directional optimization of the supply chain, explicit from the source

Reduce enterprise consumption costs; l? On the consumption side, comprehensively assess employee purchasing behavior and preferences, start to improve the matching of consumption standards and needs, upgrade control measures and collaborative efficiency, and strengthen management value-added benefits; l? On the management side, focus on cost control efficiency

, accurately calculate the input-output ratio of expenses, allocate the direction of expense expenditures in real time, optimize allocation, and maximize the value of enterprise resources.

At this point, with the integration of suppliers and the enrichment of consumption scenarios, most business-related consumption can be completed uniformly on the mall. The system will automatically match the "consumption ticket" with the consumption application, and the reimbursement-free experience for employees in all scenarios will gradually be realized.
