Vupadhi Techno Services: Fulfilling the End-to-end Requirements of E-Procurement Lifecycle Management
Over the last 15 years, emergence of E-Procurement over conventional purchase procedures has addressed key legacy issues of cost and transparency in the procurement needs of public and private sector. However, while implementing an Eprocurement system, achieving the ultimate objective of high RoI remains a challenge as most of the EProcurement solution providers have limited the scope of their solutions and services to the award of the tender contract. Significant Pre-procurement and Post-procurement activities need to be woven and enmeshed with the core purchase process to complete the cycle and derive a Value Add from the system. Into this emerges Vupadhi Techno Services, a startup from Hyderabad, India that is redefining the way Governments and Corporates need to do Procurement using ICT.
