A computer-implemented method for improving efficiency in an electronic procurement system for sourcing resources, comprising, during digital electronic interactions of a buyer computer with one or more software platforms and without receiving explicit request for recommendations from the buyer computer: automatically generating, at a coding computer, implicit observation data of the buyer computer; automatically determining, at the coding computer, one or more active sourcing events from a… Show more

A computer-implemented method for improving efficiency in an electronic procurement system for sourcing resources, comprising, during digital electronic interactions of a buyer computer with one or more software platforms and without receiving explicit request for recommendations from the buyer computer: automatically generating, at a coding computer, implicit observation data of the buyer computer; automatically determining, at the coding computer, one or more active sourcing events from a plurality of sourcing events, based on at least the implicit observation data of the buyer computer; using the coding computer, causing to display at least one of the one or more active sourcing events in a graphical user interface.

A computer-implemented method for managing a graphical user interface for a computer procurement application is disclosed. The graphical user interface is configured to show data related to key performance indicators (KPIs) for an entity and those for a peer group, show recommendations for improving values of the KPIs by adjusting values of configurations associated with the KPIs for the entity based on values of the KPIs and the associated configurations for the peer group in response to a… Show more
