Procurement Management

Procurement management
At Buro Matei, we bring a structured, data-driven approach to Procurement Management for Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) projects.

Procurement in this context involves selecting, contracting, and managing vendors and suppliers to align with project objectives. This includes sourcing materials, tracking deliveries, and ensuring timely coordination between engineering, procurement, and construction teams.

Procurement is often seen as a critical link in the EPC chain, directly impacting cost, schedule, and project success.

Our methodology integrates technology and best practices to provide real-time visibility into procurement progress, vendor performance, and material readiness. By centralizing procurement workflows and automating repetitive processes, we enhance collaboration, reduce risks, and deliver measurable outcomes.

Whether managing procurement end-to-end or supporting as an oversight partner, Buro Matei ensures your project stays aligned with its goals through smarter procurement strategies and tools.

Challenges We Solve

Our Procurement Management services address key issues in EPC project execution:

Disjointed Systems: Procurement logs, material tracking, and vendor communications are often siloed, leading to inefficiencies and missed deadlines.

Manual Processes: Traditional workflows like RFQs, vendor qualifications, and purchase orders rely on manual effort, increasing errors and delays.

Poor Visibility: Limited tracking of vendor progress and material readiness affects project predictability.

Lack of Integration: Disconnected procurement data fails to align with schedules, budgets, and engineering workflows, causing miscommunication and rework.

Compliance Risks: Missing or incomplete documentation from suppliers creates risks during audits or handovers.
