We hear this question often – and we completely understand why. Many companies still rely on emails and Excel spreadsheets. It works, but only until the purchasing agenda starts to grow and a clear spreadsheet turns into chaos.

At that point, e-procurement starts to make sense – that is, the digitalization of purchasing processes through specialized software.
But where do you start if you’re completely new to digitalization?
👉 Ask yourself four basic questions:
1️⃣ Do we even need digitalization?
➡️ Yes, it brings lower costs, fewer errors, faster approvals, and better control over spending.
2️⃣ How do we choose the right software?
➡️ Clarify what you want to improve, and involve colleagues from purchasing, finance, and IT. Look for a tool that is simple, secure, and easy to integrate with your ERP.
3️⃣ How much will it cost?
➡️ Cloud solutions are now accessible even for smaller companies – often for just a few thousand a month. And a well-configured system pays for itself within 1–2 years.
4️⃣ What does the implementation look like?
➡️ Preparation is key – process analysis, user training, and a pilot phase.
If done properly, digitalization becomes a natural part of daily work.
💡 E-procurement isn’t about complex IT projects. It’s about simplifying work, saving time, and gaining better oversight.
You can start gradually – step by step.

Only a few owners and directors have truly deep experience in procurement—and even fewer with modern electronic tools, which are already standard in companies that manage procurement professionally.
When I look back today, in 2025, I feel a bit like a dinosaur who witnessed the rise of procurement digitalization from the front row, but somehow this incredible tool for improvement actually passed me by.
The key benefit of the digital transformation of procurement is optimization precisely in those areas where money leaks out of the procurement process.
