Does it make sense to digitalize procurement if we are a small company?
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.
