E-Procurement Concept - Digital Transformation of an SME's Procurement

Abstract

The enterprise, which operates in the chemical industry, employs 60 people. The company's current procurement processes reflect partial inefficiency, adding to length and complexity. Therefore, two research questions have arisen: Where is the most significant potential with regard to the digitalisation of procurement, and does it make sense to implement it? In conclusion, the thesis aims to evaluate the current maturity level of procurement, from which the potentials concerning digitalisation is derived. Finally, a recommendation for the implementation of the potentials is given.
