The partnership aims to create a B2B market place that will cater to procurement of indirect material by various industries like Auto/Auto Ancillaries/FMCG/Textiles/Capital Goods etc. The collaboration will help improve on Synise’s existing outsourcing of procurement with cloudBuy’s solutions that offer sourcing to payment, making the final offering more efficient due to use of technology.
The system also adds many features and offerings such as spend analysis, contract management, payment facilities etc. Additionally, the existing clients of Synise can procure through the market place and save on their procurement cost.
The market size in India is estimated to be $2 billion for indirect material. The company said that the partnership aims to capture a sizable share of the same in the next few years.
Ashok Dani, CEO of SYNISE commented: “The Gulf States are India’s largest trading partner and we have the largest group of vetted high quality Indian suppliers. We believe there is immense potential in providing these suppliers with B2B ecommerce so that they can easily export to the world, at the same time as making their Indian business more efficient. The association with cloudBuy will help us tap this potential and provide a value added proposition to our customers.”
The Government of India is encouraging PSU, ST and ULC sectors to adopt e-procurement and as the market is still at a nascent stage in India, there is a tremendous potential for e-procurement services in the country.
