Supply Chain & Vendor Enablement

If eProcurement users can’t find what they need – because the data can’t be found when descriptions are bad or incomplete – the user makes an off-catalog buy at a higher price for something that was or should have been available at a preferred price. This creates lost revenue in form of higher costs. Thus, product content has to be managed effectively to avail the benefits of efficient eProcurement.
