How to solve the pain points of 12000 small and medium-sized customers' component procurement? Say goodbye to overtime!

I can't tell you the pain , The purchase of components is not an uncle

In the eyes of outsiders , The purchase belongs to Party A , Very good in front of suppliers , Which price is not good 、 The service is bad. Change it if you want , Some people always think that purchasing is easy , Anyone can do it ……

One bit device purchasing friend Lao Liu （ alias ） Just say to the author ：“ Purchasing is not an uncle , We have a hard time saying .” Lao Liu revealed , For small and medium-sized enterprises to purchase components , Often face four pain points ： Price 、 Delivery date 、 payment 、 Work overtime .

First, the price , The responsibility of purchasing is to buy the materials needed by the company at the lowest price and cost , However, the price of components is not the lowest , Only lower , The boss can always find that the materials you purchase have other lower prices . One side , It may be that the time of purchasing is short , Not knowing enough about the market price , If there is an urgent order , It's easy to buy expensive materials ; But on the other hand, it's not about purchasing ability , But there are too many material models in the market , In fact, it is difficult for purchasing to understand the historical quotation of a specific material , It is difficult to compare prices .

The second is delivery , “ Last night I dreamed that I was sleeping on a pile of relays , Finally got the goods ……” Lao Liu said , In front of the delivery date , The purchase of renniu has also been tortured into grandchildren . Urging delivery and logistics follow-up after placing an order is often the most headache of procurement , You need to call repeatedly 、 WeChat 、 Email to communicate and confirm , In case of communication problems , Often affect the delivery schedule .

Payment is also a big pain point in purchasing , However, this pain point is mainly due to the company's financial delay in payment . Many small and medium-sized companies often pay at will , Procurement is caught between the company and suppliers, and both sides are angry . in addition , The finance department should confirm every order and receipt , In the middle of procurement, frequent reconciliation with suppliers is required , A great increase in workload . Lao Liu often thinks , If there is a platform that can print orders directly , Download the shipping file 、 Electronic invoice , Just check the accounts payable .

The last pain point is overtime . For Liu , It's impossible to get off work on time , The price should be optimized 、 The purchase agreement needs to be discussed 、 The delivery time should be tracked and supervised 、 Supplier invoice verification and payment request 、 Develop new suppliers …… It is said that the procurement work is easy ？

“ Many buyers work overtime at night , It's not our business ability or work efficiency , But we have a sense of responsibility . Plus , The work is really endless ！”

So how can we solve the four pain points faced by procurement ？
