Stakeholders at the Digital Procurement Africa (DPA) submit, powered by Gloopro, Africa’s premier enterprise eProcurement, have stressed the need for data generation across channel and distribution value chain in order to scale organisation’s digital procurement process.

According to them, data generation will enhance accuracy and support better decision-making that will help organisations to scale at speed.

The stakeholders said this at the 2026 DPA summit, which held in Lagos.

Founder and CEO of Gloopro, Dr. Olumide Olusanya, in his keynote presentation, highlighted the need for organisations to accelerate digital procurement in large enterprises in the digital era.

According to him, Gloopro has developed the Procurement-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution that will address all the challenges militating against digital procurement, including challenges associated with tail-spend in organisations.
