E-Procurement
E-Procurement is a digital platform that automates and streamlines the procurement process for businesses, enabling electronic purchasing of goods and services from suppliers. It typically includes features like supplier management, purchase requisitions, order processing, invoicing, and analytics to improve efficiency and reduce costs. This technology replaces manual, paper-based procurement methods with integrated software solutions.
Developers should learn E-Procurement when building or maintaining business-to-business (B2B) applications, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, or supply chain management tools, as it helps organizations optimize purchasing workflows and ensure compliance. It is particularly useful in industries like manufacturing, retail, and healthcare where procurement is a critical operational function, enabling real-time tracking and data-driven decision-making.
