E-Procurement and Sourcing Technology Implementation

Moving procurement onto digital platforms promises faster cycles, tighter control and richer data, but only when the technology is implemented with process discipline. This course helps procurement teams select, roll out and adopt e-procurement and e-sourcing tools, from electronic catalogues and requisitioning to e-tendering and supplier portals, with practical attention to change management in South African organisations.

  • Describe the building blocks of e-procurement and e-sourcing platforms.
  • Assess and select technology that fits organisational procurement needs.
  • Redesign procurement processes to work well within digital tools.
  • Manage electronic catalogues, requisitioning and approval workflows.
