Tejari, the business-to-business electronic marketplace, has announced that Pepsi Co Jordan will be the latest firm to join its online trading community.
Pepsi Co will be moving its procurement processes online in an effort to streamline its procedures and make them more cost-effective.
“Tejari has clearly demonstrated itself to be a successful, cost-effective and simplified platform from which we can satisfy our buying needs across the Middle East,” said Tarek El Sakka, general manager of Pepsi Co Jordan. The company is the number one beverage supplier in the country and trades as the International Jordan Ice & Aerated Water Co.
He added: “Whether we’re looking for raw materials or trucks, uniforms and office supplies, Tejari offers a transparent and regionally-relevant solution to sourcing a wide range of goods from a robust base of suppliers.”
Tejari enables buyers and suppliers to share information and carry out transactions in a secure internet environment. The marketplace can be used for spot-purchasing and online auctions, and provides a way for companies to source raw materials, equipment and other business needs.
Yazan Hatamleh, managing director of Tejari Jordan, said: “As manufacturing becomes a most robust industry vertical across the Middle East region, Tejari anticipates greater adoption of online trading in that sector.
“While the streamlining of costs in administration and other operational expenses is a key element in companies choosing Tejari’s online trading platform, Pepsi’s decision to become a member can be attributed as much to the ease of forming strategic partnerships between buyer and seller from Tejari’s existing membership.”
