Revolutionizing Corporate Procurement and Sales with bJAMP Kaeru Service

Transforming Procurement Processes with bJAMP Kaeru

In an ever-evolving business landscape, the need for efficient procurement practices has never been more vital. Jiji Press Business Support Corporation, a subsidiary of Jiji Press, is launching the bJAMP "Kaeru" service on October 1, 2026. This innovative platform promises to modernize corporate procurement and sales operations through digital transformation (DX) and cost reduction strategies.

A Flawed Procurement System

Corporate procurement often suffers from several inherent challenges. Companies primarily rely on existing supplier relationships, which can lead to biased decisions based on personal knowledge of procurement staff. This reliance can result in the acquisition of overpriced or poor-quality products, potentially fostering an environment ripe for irregularities.

Additionally, the lack of streamlined information sharing between departments hampers efficiency. For example, sales and research and development teams may be unable to leverage existing supplier data effectively. The complexity of procurement also compounds these issues, with multiple departments involved in a lengthy, intricate process of proposal requests, negotiations, contract adjustments, and deliveries, all of which contribute to inefficiency.

Introducing bJAMP Kaeru

The bJAMP "Kaeru" service aims to address these challenges head-on by adopting a digital approach to corporate procurement. The service opens up competitive bidding processes akin to public procurement, allowing companies to invite bids from a broad range of potential suppliers. This method promotes cost-effectiveness and quality by enabling businesses to procure the best products and services at competitive prices.

Furthermore, the system fosters transparency, facilitating fair trades and supporting company growth. By digitizing the procurement process, company interactions will be both efficient and secure, aligning with modern business standards.
