OVERVIEW

The Age of E-Procurement

In the hospitality industry, where technology and digitalization play a crucial role, E-procurement has become a profitable reality. This advancement has significantly reduced the costs associated with digitizing procurement processes, making it more accessible for hotels and chains.

To optimize supply chain management in the hospitality sector, technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and blockchain are increasingly utilized. These innovative solutions enable better tracking of goods, enhance logistics operations, and improve overall efficiency.

Digital supply chain management in hospitality helps mitigate disruptions and minimizes physical contact, ensuring smoother operations and improved supplier and guest experiences.

By implementing a Sourcing Platform, hospitality organisations can achieve flexible procurement by accessing multiple suppliers who compete on factors such as pricing and delivery times. This empowers the buyers to find the best options for their specific procurement needs, driving cost savings and ensuring timely and reliable delivery of goods and services.
