What is e-Procurement

• In basic terms, e-Procurement is purchasing or
  procurement conducted via the Internet.
• Different levels of participation are possible.
• Using e-mail simply to transmit orders
• Online catalogue
• Using e-mail for order verification and status
  requests and notifications
• Real-time integration of the buyer's business
  system with the distributor's system
• Complete, "lights out" replenishment in which
  orders are generated, approved, transmitted,
  filled, and billed automatically, without human
  intervention.
• The more integrated the buyer's and
  distributor's systems, the more automatic the
  process and the greater the time and cost savings.

Why will e-Procurement be a big deal?

• What does it mean to your customers?
• The core benefit of the Internet is its ability
  to communicate relevant, up-to-date information.
• Organizations that use that information
  effectively are the ones that will enjoy
• Increased competitiveness
• Faster reaction times
• Higher service levels
• Better operational forecasting
• Improved resource planning
• Many large asset-intensive companies are actively
  pursing full e-Procurement in order to realize
  these benefits. And where larger companies lead,
  the rest will follow. Companies have adopted
  e-Business more slowly than predicted, but even
  conservative projections estimate that
  business-to-business (B2B) transactions will top
  3 trillion by 2004

Benefits To Business

• Business Growth
• Growth of the business is directly proportional
  to the number of customers and efficient means to
  manage them. ONLINE GROCERY STORE enables
  customer acquisition and retention outside the
  geographic limitations.
• Lower Overheads Costs
• In traditional business model, increase in
  customer requires additional manpower, floor
  space and resources. This results in additional
  overhead costs.
• ONLINE GROCERY STORE offers options to service
  customers through appointed franchisees /
  resellers.
• Efficient Service
• Increase in sales without increasing the number
  of physical visitors in the store will enable the
  staff to impart quality and efficient service.

• Franchisee Model
• Reseller Model
• B2B Interface

Business Only Model

  the responsibilities of logistics, support and
  promotion.

Franchisee Model

• A business owner can appoint franchisees for
  various geographic districts, operated by
  Independent Business Owners (IBOs). IBOs assume
  all additional responsibilities and overheads in
  exchange for owning and operating a business at
  very nominal cost.

22
Reseller Model

• Independent OGS are provided to the resellers
  under their own name but the order management is
  processed to one store owner who becomes a whole
  seller to these resellers. This model gives all
  the responsibility to the resellers. The detail
  comparison is provided below.

23
B2B Interface

• Option. B2B interface is available for those
  customers who have their own independent stores
  and are purchasing in Bulk, to automate the order
  management.
