In South Africa’s fast-paced business environment, efficiency is no longer a “nice to have”—it’s a competitive necessity. Yet one area where inefficiency still drains time and money is office procurement.
From stationery and business forms to branded corporate materials, many companies still rely on outdated methods like emails, spreadsheets, and phone calls. The result? Slow approvals, hidden costs, and frustrated teams.
This is where FMIA’s FormsHub Procurement Portal (FormsHub) is making a difference—providing a digital-first, South African-built procurement solution that saves time, reduces costs, and gives businesses back control.
The Hidden Costs of Manual Procurement
Traditional procurement methods may seem manageable, but they come with hidden challenges:
- Inefficient workflows – Manual tasks slow operations and drain resources.
- Limited visibility – No real-time tracking of orders, usage, or supplier performance.
- Uncontrolled spend – Duplicate orders, rogue suppliers, and poor budget oversight.
- High admin burden – Finance, HR, and operations spend hours managing basic orders instead of focusing on strategy.
For South African businesses competing in a tight economy, these inefficiencies add up—affecting both profitability and productivity.
