Understanding the importance of procurement and supply chains and identifying their weaknesses has become important in the current globalized economy and business world. Apparently, Procurement has been witnessing an unprecedented disruption of technology adoption and operating models to streamline the process. Thanks to COVID-19, the developments in procurement have observed increased acceleration becoming process-oriented, agile, and data-driven. Given the technology reach, with the adoption of PaaS, the procurement as a service market is experiencing growth rising from $6.15 billion in 2022, to registering a growth of 11.1 percent from 2023 to 2030. However, in India where the market is still observing a lot of gaps in procurement, and even the largest of organizations/SMEs are faced with the challenge of best price and service because of lesser volumes, product counterfeit, improper procurement manager and vendor alignment, and more, the need for a complete and diverse supplier base has become more pronounced.

“Procurement process is a simple P2P (Purchase to Pay) process, though theoretically same across the globe, but is different as per market dynamics. Where the others are a little more adept in terms of understanding and emphasizing quality versus price factor, India is rather elevating to the level where cost pressure always drives quality, and vendor-service alignment also matters. Our DEALBERG platform as a tech platform addresses all the procurement needs of international markets including India. We are very closely working with our
clients and have a very skilled relationship manager to manage the show across each of the locations or geographies respective of the dynamics there as B2B is similar everywhere”, states Abhishek Emmanuel, CEO, DEALBERG.

“DEALBERG is basically a client relationship-driven enterprise. It works around with two kinds of customer acquisition/customer-facing process- one is a large client and large enterprise alignment, where a lot of discussions is done, products are tailor-made for them, over looked by our account management or relationship management team with constant communication. So precisely, we offer tailor-made solutions as well, i.e., as per the client’s need and which is why we are really a scalable model too for any kind of client or into any industry. Not only that, we are very say user-friendly too, as internet users in India have gotten quite familiar with e-Commerce style of buying. We did not really want our platform to be a very ERP kind of stuff only, which is why we have emphasized it into an e-Commerce kind of UI where a Procurement user finds it very easy to use. And this is why we are unique too”, adds Abhishek.
With certain strict protocols in place which are driven by the tech itself and everything managed as per the process with the customer’s consent on price, quality parameters, and a control sample sign-off for every product DEALBERG prepares QC reports for all the products supplied to the client. And then even for that matter, once delivery happens, the delivery needs to be acknowledged on the tech itself on the app by the user, so that everybody in the organization has the details.

We are launching DEALBERG as an employee regulatory platform where all the brands offer corporate employees services that are really good all under one roof. So our next scale is also rewards & recognition- a huge market driven by corporates in India”, avers Abhishek.
