Using technology to boost B2B procurement processes is now a reality.

According to Forrester Research, 30% of corporate purchases are made on digital platforms and, according to forecasts, that number will increase to 56% within three years.

In addition to the natural trend, the current scenario has accelerated and reinforced the need for supply chain digitization. Using technology in procurement’s daily chores is now a must, not only to gain agility, collaboration and savings in business, but also to keep operations running with the least possible impact.

These digital platforms allow professionals to be more analytical and strategic, along with the possibility of accessing and working anytime, anywhere.

Keep on reading this article and find out how Mercado Eletrônico and our technological solutions can help the B2B segment.

 

Mercado Eletrônico: more than 25 years of history

Mercado Eletrônico, a Latin America leader in technological solutions and B2B services, has been established in 1994, with the goal of automating the procurement and sales processes between companies, and generating more savings, security, agility and collaboration between business partners.

B2B solutions are based on usability, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and the ecosystems that are integral part of procurement processes, on a platform that allows integration with any ERP.

Through our technology, the B2B buy-and-sell process – which was previously operational and with a very high lead time – has become automated and faster.

ME’s solutions include e-Procurement, Order Management, Supplier Management, CLM and e-Marketplace processes.

 

How do we work?

Mercado Eletrônico’s platform works to connect buyers and suppliers, thus eliminating the need for e-mails, phone calls and other difficult-to-manage media.

Professionals have only to access a portal, and are capable to control and manage B2B purchases and sales in a full on-line and simple way, anytime, anywhere.

All information is stored in a single location, ensuring compliance and more decision-making power, to be really strategic.

Mercado Eletrônico’s solutions are based on SaaS technology. In other words, there’s no need for infrastructure, equipment and maintenance staff, but only a secure Internet connection.

ME have now more than 8 thousand buyers and 1 million suppliers, with transactions exceeding R$ 100 billion on its platform annually.
