Analyzing the Transition from Traditional Methods to Digitalization and Automation in Construction Material Procurement
Main Article Content
Abstract
The construction industry is experiencing a significant transformation as it shifts from traditional, manual procurement practices to digitalized and automated processes, driven by the demand for greater efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness. This paper aims to identify and analyze the evolution of procurement tools within the construction sector, highlighting key factors that have facilitated the successful implementation of digital solutions. Through a comprehensive examination of procurement practices across various company types, this study categorises procurement approaches and examines how each has adapted to technological advancements. The research focuses on understanding the drivers behind the step-by-step transition from conventional methods to digital and automated procurement, exploring the technological, organisational, and regulatory influences. The findings contribute to the growing body of knowledge on digital procurement by offering practical insights for industry stakeholders on optimising procurement practices. This research highlights the significance of digital transformation in enabling companies to remain competitive in an increasingly datadriven and technology-driven environment.
