Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) expects to boost efficiency in fuel distribution after activating its Sh165 million Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) system.

The online platform, installed by Germany-based firm Sap (East Africa), will see KPC reduce the waiting period for petroleum transporters — who have in the past spent long hours queuing for fuel — by up to 30 per cent thereby helping cut costs. Managing Director Joe Sang said this will promote competition among dealers and enhance transparency.

“The new platform puts KPC at par with other State agencies using the e-procurement platform. The finance and procurement departments will streamline their processes to promote competition, transparency, accountability and public confidence,” he said.

The SRM solution automates KPC’s entire procurement process.
