eMarketplaces provide the lowest cost and most efficient way for buying organisations to achieve fully electronic trading with their suppliers. With over seventy members, the UKprocure Systems eMarketplace is the largest eCommerce network of UK public and private sector organisations. Through a single connection to the UKprocure Systems eMarketplace, buying organisations can engage in fully automated trade with their suppliers.

The UKprocure Systems eMarketplace is a managed service based on market-leading Oracle technology. We deliver a suite of modules that enable buyers and suppliers to automate the requisitioning to invoicing process. The ability to integrate our eMarketplace modules within an organisation's existing Business or Finance systems provides a low-risk and low-cost route to fully automated trading.

The eMarketplace provides a shared technology platform but is not an “open” marketplace – strict control and security measures are in place to protect information relating to individual trading relationships.

Suppliers believe that they can reap significant benefits through the use of eCommerce. But this is dependent on a sufficient critical mass of buying organisations being available to trade with. Due to the scale of buying organisations joined to the UKprocure Systems eMarketplace, we provide suppliers with the most cost-effective way to engage in integrated electronic trading with their public and private sector customers. UKprocure Systems works with buying organisations to implement structured supplier adoption programmes, including seminars and collaborative supplier adoption initiatives with other buying organisations. This delivers the highest possible return for both buyers and suppliers on their eCommerce investment.

• Online requisitioning – online requisitioning module fully automates the workflow and approval process.
• Catalogue management – catalogue management solutions to support suppliers and buyers at any level of eCommerce adoption and any back-office system, including supplier managed catalogues, buyer managed catalogues and direct punch-out to supplier sites.
• Document transmission – fully automates the entire document transmission process, from orders, acknowledgements and goods receipting, through to invoicing.
