Abstract

This research investigates the impact of procurement digitalisation (PD) on international procurement and supply chain management (IPSCM) strategies in the international fast fashion sector. This study identifies key factors influencing this impact, challenges in implementation, good practices, the role of stakeholders, and recommendations to effectively manage digitalisation. A systematic literature review was conducted following established guidelines, including defining search terms, selecting databases, establishing inclusion/exclusion criteria, screening, quality appraisal, and data extraction. 60 academic sources were identified that were synthesised to address the research objectives. Key findings indicate that real-time data utilisation, sustainability, supply chain transparency, digital transformation, and data quality significantly influence the impact of PD on IPSCM strategies. Challenges include resistance to change, costs, cybersecurity concerns, and legacy system incompatibility. Good practices involve starting small, collaboration, change management, and continuous improvement. Stakeholders like suppliers and regulators are critical for successful implementation. Recommended actions emphasise strategic transformation, technology integration, stakeholder involvement, data-driven decisions, and roadmap development. The findings offer potentially valuable recommendations for fast fashion companies to effectively integrate procurement digital technologies into their IPSCM strategies. The research can also inform future studies on technological advancements shaping this sector.
