The holding plans to combine all procurement functions in a single space on the basis of a package of ready-made B2B-Center solutions - ETP Plus. This was announced by B2B-Center on December 10, 2024.

One of the first stages was the launch and transfer of electronic purchases of coal mining enterprises, trading and logistics companies Colmar to a branded trading platform. This allows you to simplify the processes of finding suppliers and submitting quotations, as well as increase the transparency and efficiency of purchases. As of December 2024, Kolmar enterprises conducted over 3,000 trading procedures on the B2B-Center. The purchased nomenclature is represented by various categories: from mining equipment and equipment of processing plants to consumables and services.

Launching a trading platform on the V2V-Center platform is not just a step forward, but a whole culture of change. This is a new era of digital development of our company, aimed at dramatically improving the quality of procurement management and the cost of production, as well as improving the processes of interaction with internal customers. We have chosen V2V-Center for ourselves as a strategic partner who will help us on the way to the main goal - to create a unified, effective and transparent environment for procurement, - commented in LLC UK Kolmar.

ETP Plus includes all the functions necessary for the buyer to work efficiently: a single register of applications from internal customers, flexible settings for creating purchases and sales of illiquids, services for evaluating and interacting with suppliers, configured approval routes, contract template designer, interactive dashboard with procurement analytics, basic tools for normalizing and managing NSI, ready-made integration solutions. For customers, B2B-Center is a kind of bridge from classic ETP sourcing to end-to-end procurement automation based on the B2B Altis cloud platform.

The sustainability and success of a business depends on the ability to respond quickly to new challenges and opportunities. ETP Plus is our offer for companies with a high level of digitalization. This is a purchasing standard that combines all the necessary management and integration services into one product. We are glad that the coking coal producer was one of the first to assess the advantages and potential of ETP Plus for sustainable development, - said Andrei Boyko, Commercial Director of B2B-Center.
