Procurement Innovation: Mercateo at “eWorld Procurement & Supply”

Mercateo UK was in London at “eWorld Procurement & Supply” on 2 March 2016. Since 2001, the trade fair has developed into one of the most comprehensive forums for new innovations and technical applications in procurement and supply chain management in Great Britain. Mercateo was represented with a booth for the third time and presented, as in previous years, to an international audience with a specialist lecture. Stuart Hobbs, Global Lead Buyer for Consumable Products, provided insight into the procurement practice at Bombardier Transportation. In his lecture on “Implementing Tail End Spend Management with eProcurement” he explained to 60 listeners which challenges his company faced with the procurement of indirect requirements and how it was able to cope with these by integrating Mercateo. In the question and answer session afterwards he was able to answer numerous questions from the audience.

At the same time those responsible for procurement and decision makers used the chance to obtain information about the B2B procurement platform’s e-procurement solutions at the Mercateo booth. Visitors showed great interest in integrating exclusive catalogues and the general possibilities for reducing process costs with the purchasing of indirect procurement.
