How Amreli Steels Cut Procurement
Cycle Time by 50% with ePurchase
A complete digital transformation of procurement — from manual spreadsheets and email chains to a fully automated, real-time procurement ecosystem.
Company Overview
About Amreli Steels
Amreli Steels is one of Pakistan's leading steel manufacturers and a pioneer in the steel industry. With decades of experience, large-scale manufacturing operations, and an extensive supplier network, the company continuously invests in technology and process improvements to maintain operational excellence.
As operations expanded, procurement complexity grew significantly — managing purchasing across multiple departments and suppliers demanded a modern, scalable solution. That's where NexTek ePurchase delivered.
The implementation of ePurchase aligns directly with Amreli Steels' broader commitment to digital transformation and operational excellence through technology adoption.
The Challenge
Procurement Under Pressure
As Amreli Steels expanded operations, the procurement team faced increasing complexity across multiple departments and suppliers — resulting in longer cycle times, higher administrative workload, and reduced operational efficiency.
Manual PR Processing
Purchase Requisitions handled entirely on paper and email, prone to errors and slow handoffs.
Email & Spreadsheet Tracking
Procurement requests tracked informally through emails and spreadsheets with no central system.
RFQ Generation Delays
Issuing Request for Quotations and collecting supplier responses was time-consuming and inconsistent.
Lengthy Approval Cycles
Manual workflows meant routine purchases sat in multi-step approval queues for days.
Limited Procurement Visibility
No real-time view of PR status, open RFQs, supplier responses, or overall spend.
Audit Trail Gaps
Maintaining compliance documentation through paper records was burdensome and error-prone.
Manual Quotation Comparison
Supplier bids collected via email and compared manually on spreadsheets — slow and inconsistent.
