Bringing the sides together
  • Its Important that

Sellers sell what they have Sellers
challenge themselves to grow and expand their
capabilities.
Buyers recognize that all Sellers dont have the
same flexibilities, the same speed to market, the
same objectives, the same capabilities.

MSC, Industrial Supply Co.
  • E-Procurement Benefits
  • Improved productivity, cut operating costs
  • Increased order accuracy, decreased returns
  • License to sell
  • Locked into procurement process
  • E-Procurement Pitfalls
  • Must be aligned on Scope of E-comm project
  • Lack of E-pro compliance- Executive Sponsorship
  • Utilizing Hosted Catalog Approach vs. Punch-out
  • E-pro experience must be /gt traditional method

20
E-Commerce Advantages
  • Vendor Managed Systems-Full Catalog Contracts
  • Order Process Cost Reduction
  • 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.

21
E-Commerce Advantages
  • Third Party or Customer Managed Systems
  • 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.

22
E-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.

23
E-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.
