Training Course Overview
E-procurement is the process through which businesses buy and sell goods and services online. As companies increasingly adopt this method, they are discovering that e-procurement not only streamlines operations but also results in substantial cost savings. This detailed training course on e-procurement and purchasing management focuses on the development and management of e-procurement systems within organizations, ultimately leading to the effective management of the entire procurement process.
