SAPEAP: Helping Growing Businesses to do Things Differently

CIO Vendor Procurement is rapidly moving away from traditional manual work, wherein the senior procurement management did a lot of the work using mainly the knowledge they had amassed from years in the profession. Much has changed over the last few years. Industry leaders are leaders for their attitude towards change. With the changing technology regimes, it is a smart move to hop on the bandwagon to digitally transform an age old process and see what productivity, profitability and cost savings it can bring.

That said, it must be noted that Leaders don’t do anything different, they do everything differently. As the Founder of SAPEAP, Gaurav impresses upon the adoption of Reverse Auction, he says “TATA, Birla, Reliance, Adani all are negotiating through Reverse Auction why not you. This is not about their or your size of business, this is about technology which they have adopted, are you ready to adopt the same technology or not”.

A mascot of the digital transformation in the procurement domain, Noida headquartered SAPEAP is a web portal that allows a business owner to e-negotiate for his purchases on sharing reverse auction portal. This in turn, helps to get value for the hard earned money. Through this platform SAPEAP helps its clients to increase its efficiency of procurement. This platform empowers clients to increase transparency, reduce variable cost of production and increase profit. “To put it simply, if you have saved a paisa, you have earned a paisa”, says Gaurav.

Unlike other procurement leaders that charge heavily in crores, SAPEAP is providing services in few lakhs. More so, back end support is also something exclusive to SAPEAP. As a B2B portal, SAPEAP also enjoys the exclusivity of having a supplier database. As an industry expert in the subject here, Gaurav lists the major expectations of the customers, he says,
“Procurement technology solution should save money and time, increase transparency, reduce inventory and transit time.

SAPEAP is the perfect answer to all these questions”. SAPEAP caters to a vast spectrum of industry verticals including, steel, chemical, paper, textile, paint, plastic, dairy, construction, hospital, soap, food & beverages, sugar, distillery, pharma, and rubber, most widely manufacturing. SAPEAP finds a plethora of trusting clients because of its unique model.

The Right Combination of Uniqueness
There are two types of service providers: one who provides supplier data base, known as B2B portal. Second are those who give power to do negotiations online, known as ERP Software sellers. SAPEAP is a combination of both the characteristics in the price of peanuts. A cemented tile manufacturer had been procuring cement of around 10,000 bags per month direct from industry’s leading manufacturers.

When Gaurav pitched in the SAPEAP platform to this client, he said that he only purchased cement and that such huge companies will not come on this platform just for 10000 bags and the negotiation cannot exceed 1 or 2 rupees per bag. Gaurav somehow convinced him and had him float his enquiry to all cement manufacturers over e-mail mentioning that he will do online negotiation this time. To his surprise, the price per bag dropped from Rs. 326 toRs. 287. The buyer was overwhelmed and speechless for obvious reasons.

With such perseverance and conviction, SAPEAP is set to make a breakthrough in the procurement demands across the country, especially when the entire nation is buckling up for becoming an ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’.
