We have recently implemented an ERP system at our company, and now the question of procurement management has arisen. What are the key benefits of integrating the procurement process with ERP? Are there any real examples of improved control and cost reduction?

This is an interesting topic! I think it's important for many companies to understand how ERP can impact procurement.

Procurement integration with ERP significantly increases transparency and efficiency of processes. Firstly, it helps to control the budget, preventing the exceeding of limits. Secondly, it automates supplier management, reducing the time required to select the best offer. Another important aspect is the minimisation of the human factor, which reduces the likelihood of errors when placing orders. Implementation of the system improves analytics and forecasting, and speeds up contract negotiation. All these factors have a direct impact on reducing costs and improving operational efficiency. This process is described in more detail in the article, where you can read specific cases of ERP implementation in procurement.
