Mercado Eletronico participates in the Gartner ITxpo 2014 and launches new B2B e-commerce portal
New solution, which will be presented in one of the most important events in the world for CIOs, facilitates the process of Purchases of companies
SAO PAULO, Sept. 30, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mercado Eletronico, a leading Latin American provider of technology solutions and services in the areas of Purchasing and Supply, will be present at the Gartner Symposium/ITxpo 2014, taking place between October 5th and 9th, in Orlando, Florida. The event, one of the most important for CIOs, will stage the main launching from the company this year: the ProcurePro. It's a new e-commerce portal between companies, which aims to facilitate search and price comparison for purchases within companies.
The new tool is aimed to both buyers and suppliers, since it includes different benefits for each one of them. The Purchasing area, besides finding the targeted content, can perform searches for offers, suppliers and materials in a wide and effective way. In addition, the portal provides access to product catalogs, direct purchases for low value items, with guaranteed governance, and collaboration with the community of buyers, since it is possible to integrate the requests, for example, the ERP and e -procurement.
For suppliers there is the possibility of uploading and maintaining self-service catalogs, which ensures the complete product offering. In addition, the ProcurePro increases exposure, since the content is totally directed to buyers, with variable costs, allowing price differentiation for every buyer, and soon, financial settlement and consolidation of various marketplaces in one place.
"The main difference in the new portal is to ensure buyers the same experience they would have in a portal of e-commerce B2C, focused on the end user. Just add items to the cart and integrate the request in its formal procurement process and soon use a corporate card to conduct operations", explains Eduardo Nader, Mercado Eletronico's CEO. "In addition, the navigation is simple and intuitive - the person interested searches the product and finds, easily, all providers and registered prices on the tool", Nader details.
Gartner ITxpo
As the setting for the launch of ProcurePro, Mercado Eletronico chose the Gartner ITxpo, a leading event in the industry, whose theme this year is "Digital Business". The digital market resets, increasingly, the role of IT (Information Technology) and the forum participants will have the opportunity to exchange experiences and discuss ideas on how to move the digital business of their companies.
According to Nader, Mercado Eletronico will be the only Brazilian exhibitor of e-Procurement at the event, which reinforces the company's leadership position in the purchase area. "We operate in this segment for almost 20 years and have a lot of experience that can be shared. Furthermore, we can exchange ideas with executives from other referenced companies in this industry that will also be present", he says.
Gartner emphasized Mercado Eletronico as a leading provider of strategic solutions in its Magic Quadrant for Strategic Sourcing Application Suites. Among its strengths, Gartner pointed to the offer of a complete solution for Procurement and the extensive network of electronic transactions between companies.
