| dc.description.abstract | The process traditionally adopted in the purchasing of materials in the construction
industry is investigated. There are millions of trading documents, such as orders,
delivery notes and supplier invoices, currently exchanged on paper, each having to be
re-keyed as they pass between different locations and computer applications.
Traditional paper-based purchasing processes in construction are wholly inefficient,
with a high dependency on manual tasks, re-keying of information into standalone
software packages, extensive reproduction of paper documents and mislaid
documentation is commonplace. | |
