- E-Procurement Pitfalls
- Must be aligned on Scope of E-comm project
- Lack of E-pro compliance- Executive Sponsorship

- E-pro experience must be /gt traditional method
20E-Commerce Advantages

- Order Accuracy Increase-reducing back order
fulfillment costs. - Order size increases as accuracy is enhanced.
- Full access to contract cost reduction drivers
and order size discounts. - Ability to see live inventory.
- Immediate information on price adjustments. Ease
of catalog price upload.
21E-Commerce Advantages

- Full catalog contracts
- Order Process Cost Reduction.
- Order Accuracy Increase-reducing back order
fulfillment costs. - More efficient proposal response and
vendor-customer communication. - Multiple vendor catalogs can be available for the
same product groups.
22E-Commerce Pitfalls
- Third party and customer managed systems have
lacked the flexibility to present contract
programs accurately. - Average Contract Order Size falls, increasing
transits, and negatively impacting the
environment. (Catalog Shopping) - Away from procurement operational costs rise
through increased orders, smaller order size,
proliferation of unapproved products. - Catalog pricing uploads are problematic for many
systems that have not planned for their
complexity. Causing expensive delays in price
administration and poor procurement
administrative decisions. - Discounted Price Structure results in drastically
higher overall product costs. Fixed catalog cost
models should be preferred. - Program discounts for volume, proximity, business
practices and other contract enhancements are not
typically shown. - No value added programs are typically shown.
- Double order entry may be necessary for some
customers, once into their system once into the
e-commerce system.
23E-commerce Pitfalls
- Contract pricing configuration of contracted
service provider must match contract pricing
model or there is a large effort needed to fit
the systems together if the environment is not
punchout. -
- Customer Authentication at the ship to level must
be considered for most vendor systems to
seamlessly integrate with third party systems.
Unless location addresses match exactly orders
can be missed or miss directed. Some vendor
system reporting capability will also be lost. - Free form ship-to addresses must be valid
physical delivery addresses . - Address validation requirements on the customer
side must be robust to prevent an employee from
easily misdirecting a product shipment.
