Cloud Procurement

Cloud procurement is the delivery of procurement software over the internet as a hosted service, rather than installed and run on a company's own servers.

With cloud procurement, the buying platform is hosted and maintained by the provider and accessed through a web browser. Businesses avoid the cost and effort of installing and upgrading on-premise software, pay by subscription, and get new features and security updates automatically. Users can access the system from anywhere, which suits multi-site and mobile approval workflows.

Cloud delivery also makes it easier to connect to other systems and marketplaces through standard integrations. For Malaysian businesses, it lowers the barrier to adopting digital procurement — there is no server to buy and little IT overhead — so even smaller teams can access enterprise-grade buying tools.
