Optimalisasi Teknologi E-Procurement Sebagai Alat Otomatisasi Pengadaan Untuk Meningkatkan Efisiensi Biaya Operasional

Abstract

Better control and supervision of the entire procurement process and improved understanding and skills in using the system can strengthen the implementation of E-Procurement and maximize its benefits for the institution.This study aims to analyze how E-Procurement can enhance operational cost efficiency, how E-Procurement can be optimized to improve operational cost efficiency in the procurement of goods and services, and the impact of E-Procurement on operational performance and cost management within a company. E-Procurement replaces manual procurement systems, enabling reductions in time and costs at every stage, from requisition to payment. This study employs a qualitative descriptive research method. One of the main advantages of E-Procurement is the reduction of transaction costs due to the elimination of physical communication and face-to-face meetings with suppliers. Additionally, price transparency within the E-Procurement system fosters competition among suppliers, allowing companies to secure the best prices and reduce procurement costs. The implementation of E-Procurement also facilitates budget management by enabling more accurate and real-time expenditure monitoring. An integrated system allows companies to oversee the entire procurement process, ensuring purchases align with the budget and preventing waste. This study demonstrates that E-Procurement not only streamlines the procurement process but also optimizes resource utilization, enhances operational cost efficiency, and provides better control over expenditures. Overall, E-Procurement has a significant positive impact on operational performance and cost management, improving efficiency, transparency, and cost savings.
