Procurehere offers all businesses greater freedom to adopt e-procurement

Kuala Lumpur (25 September 2017) — Businesses of all sizes in Malaysia as well as globally can now unlock more value by adopting e-procurement. Privasia Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of information technology outsourcing and consultation company Privasia Technology Berhad, today officially launched its standalone e-procurement application Procurehere with the mission of automating procurement processes and propelling business excellence globally. While Procurehere has been available since 2002 as part of a business software suite, Procurehere Version 7.0 – the latest version of the enhanced cloud-based platform, is offered independently, unlike similar services currently offered on the market. The centralised and automated e-procurement platform allows businesses to manage all types of purchases, tenders and communications with potential vendors on one single platform.

“Businesses and governments worldwide have realised the importance of automating and bringing business processes onto the cloud. In Malaysia, the Government has identified growing the adoption of e-procurement as one of the six key focus areas of the National e-Commerce Strategic Roadmap, in order to double Malaysia’s e-commerce growth rate and reach a GDP contribution of RM211 billion by 2020. To improve the feasibility of adopting e-procurement among businesses of all sizes, we decided to offer Procurehere as a standalone platform based on market demand,” said Puvanesan Subenthiran, Group Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Privasia Technology Berhad. The roadmap recommends e-procurement, one of the major components of e-commerce, as the key to ensuring transparencies in the way business decisions are made, helping to reduce costs and errors, increase productivity and eliminate paperwork.

“We realise that one major hurdle in the widespread adoption of e-procurement is simply lack of knowledge about how easy it is to adopt, and just how much it can benefit any business. To break through this barrier, our team is working closely with partners in Malaysia as well as globally to capture opportunities, reach more potential customers and grow market share for Procurehere. One of Procurehere’s key strengths is that is suitable for everyone, in Malaysia and globally, so it is crucial to get the word out. In 2016, we invested in enhancing Procurehere, such as for cloud hosting and to improve response times. This year, we are investing in reaching out to potential customers who can benefit from this platform but have never considered e-procurement. Procurehere can be adopted by anyone, anywhere in the world within just three working days,” added Puvanesan.
