At present, the cost pressure of enterprises continues to rise, and the procurement industry has become an important part of enterprises to maintain sustainable growth. In order to cope with the rapidly changing market environment, enterprises need to establish a more agile and flexible procurement system, and use digital means to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and reduce potential risks. This is one of the key elements for enterprises to build competition barriers in the new era.
To this end, the 2023 China Shanghai Purchasing-Supply Chain & Indirect Procurement Annual Conference was held in Shanghai on March 12. The conference was hosted by Jiancaihui. As an excellent practitioner of supply chain procurement digitalization, Qiqitong was invited to participate in the conference to discuss The digital transformation and upgrading of procurement supply chain and indirect procurement can tap more value points for enterprises.

Focus on Procurement Digitalization
Empowering enterprise digital value
As more and more companies realize the importance of digital procurement, most companies currently focus on direct procurement and less management on indirect procurement. In fact, indirect procurement accounts for a considerable proportion of an enterprise's overall procurement expenditure, and its cost reduction potential is often much greater than that of direct procurement.
However, indirect procurement categories are complex and diverse, and expenditures are scattered. Enterprises must use digitalization to manage and help complex indirect procurement management achieve leapfrog improvement in order to maximize cost reduction and efficiency enhancement. How to manage and optimize the indirect procurement process is very important.
This summit brought together nearly 200+ purchasing managers from Emerson, Saint-Gobain, Otis Elevator, Netease, Haitai Olin, BOBST, etc., to conduct on-site communication and exchange on topics such as procurement supply chain and indirect procurement, aiming to explore How to use digitalization to drive enterprise innovation and lead business growth, and give full play to the value of digitalization and intelligence in enterprise procurement.
At this meeting, Xu Tingtao, a qualified expert in procurement and supply chain of Qiqitong, delivered a keynote speech on "The Digital Era, the Way of Transformation and Innovation in the Purchasing Supply Chain". Starting from the current hot issues in digital China, he deeply analyzed the future development trend of procurement digitalization , the characteristics of indirect procurement, how to do the digital transformation of procurement, what value points can it bring to the enterprise, and finally it also brought the successful practice case sharing of Qiqitong customers.
