The difference between e-commerce procurement and traditional procurement

Different procurement scope, different modes.

1. E-commerce procurement can be completed only by Internet operation, which is convenient and quick, and the scope of procurement is large. Traditional procurement is generally carried out in physical stores, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the scope of procurement is small.

2. Compared with general e-commerce and general procurement, e-procurement has more conceptual extensions in essence. It not only completes the purchasing behavior, but also uses information and network technology to manage all aspects of the whole purchasing process, effectively integrates the resources of the enterprise, helps the supply and demand sides to reduce costs and improve the core competitiveness of the enterprise. Under the traditional procurement mode, the procurement process of enterprises is very complicated, including procurement application, information inquiry and release, bidding and bid evaluation. Contract settlement, logistics and distribution, and coordination with relevant departments are all manual operations, which wastes great time and labor costs and makes the process inefficient. Managers in the procurement department need to deal with a lot of business, unable to undertake the profit and loss analysis, evaluation and decision-making of the projects they are responsible for at the strategic level, unable to implement forward-looking procurement management, establish strategic partnership with suppliers, re-examine the procurement model, and rationalize the operation of suppliers.
