e-Sourcing: The new way to source better
As an important organizational function, strategic sourcing plays an increasingly influential role in helping organizations compete and achieve a sustainable advantage in their missions and markets. Using e-Sourcing software to automate the strategic sourcing process allows organizations to make better and faster sourcing decisions, directly impacting the efficiency of their supply chain. A comprehensive sourcing strategy should include the use of spend analysis software and reverse auctions, specifically for the online procurement of direct goods and services.
The use of e-Sourcing tools, specifically online auction software in the procurement process can generate significant cost savings for Fortune companies, small firms as well as government agencies.
e-Sourcing software does more than establish an electronic venue for buyers and suppliers to conduct business-to-business e-commerce. It also streamlines workflows for better supply chain management and spend management. E-Procurement software enhances flexibility and drives transparency between the buyers and suppliers.

-
Obtain bids / quotes from different suppliers using a single online sourcing portal
