How to choose the right Marine Procurement System

Selecting the appropriate system for maritime procurement can be a challenging task due to the presence of multiple variables to consider. Identifying a company’s needs and goals is crucial as it provides a clear understanding of the requirements and objectives the system must align. Start by asking yourself the questions:

  • Do my vessels need constant access to the system?
  • Should the system be able to integrate with other systems?
  • Do we need to centralize data?
  • How user-friendly should the system be?

Ask other procurement managers or experts is also a great opportunity.
