Abstract

Cloud computing has become extensive favour of business sectors, especially small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). SMEs sector can gain many benefits from using cloud computing because it can fulfil user requirements with on-demand services and low costs. Certainly, SMEs have a problem of raw material procurement from suppliers to meet the requirements, such as low prices, on-time delivery, and raw materials quality due to SMEs encounter limited budgets and lack of contracted suppliers. Also, suppliers need buyers satisfying the sales conditions because the suppliers require higher profits from selling the products. Therefore, this study proposes cloud computing for logistics and procurement services to support dealing business operation between SMEs and raw material suppliers. Moreover, a model of cloud computing for logistics and raw material procurement services between shoes SME and rubbers suppliers is proposed in this study.
