Contract Win in India

cloudBuy (AIM: CBUY), the cloud eCommerce marketplace, announces that it has been awarded its first eProcurement contract in Mumbai, India, by Sarth Surfacrete, to implement a cloudBuy private purchasing portal. The portal will feature integrated electronic payment as a standard feature.  As part of the implementation, Sarth Surfacrete's suppliers, some of which are large corporates, will be provided with a dedicated B2B eCommerce environment to facilitate trading and electronic payment.

This contract win builds upon cloudBuy's investments in India.  cloudBuy has been building capability in the market, covering India's complex range of in-country taxes into the cloudBuy eCommerce engine.   The ability to support suppliers trading across India is central to a successful roll out of eCommerce and eProcurement.

Ronald Duncan, Executive Chairman of cloudBuy, said "India's eCommerce market grew at 88% in 2013 rising to $16bn, and it is clear that there is a readiness and excitement around B2B eCommerce within India's thriving business sector.  We are delighted by this contract win which highlights the desire of forward looking Indian companies to grow into eBusiness. "

Prashant Palande, Managing Director of Sarth Surfacrete, said "We use leading technology in our construction and corporate interior projects, similarly we were looking out for a latest solution to ease our procurement issues for the next five years.  Having the solution in the cloud reduces our implementation and maintenance costs, which is an added advantage along with bringing our suppliers and their payment 'Online', which swayed our decision in cloudBuy's favour."
