The focus is on simplifying the actual process and minimising the time we are investing in these tasks . We have introduced many tools within procurement to ensure the life of our procurement personnel is simple but brilliant . We now have all the information , data , and everything else we require available in one click . We have also started a digital garage , which will help us to please an order and get what we want in one click . That is a power of digitisation .”
