“Personally, I view Amazon as a shopping experience, not a strategic player and not a competitive contract solution. We have members that are investing in building out e-procurement sys- tems with their existing ERP or using dedicated e-procurement platforms. The benefits of creating a customized online e-pro- curement solution include centralized spending control (reigns in maverick spend), online catalogs, integration of accounts payable and procurement, supplier registration, contract man- agement, solicitation management and of greatest benefit — visibility and reporting!” said Peters.
According to Amundson, school districts see value in using co- operative purchasing entities as they get a steady, predictable pric- ing structure and supplier source. Sourcewell offers fixed pricing for better clarity on price structure, including minimum discounts and ceiling-based pricing and also allows members to purchase from local vendors whenever possible — helping local economies thrive.
