Intelligent systems and strategic enhancements are continuously improved as time goes by. Most industries use Digital Technologies as it is proven to provide an advantage in terms of productivity, communication, and efficiency. Digital Procurement is one of the most common uses of digital advancement in the construction industry. It demonstrates capabilities to automate systems that will reduce supplier risks and avoid supply chain disruptions. Digitizing the procurement process proves to increase effectiveness and reduce construction costs. The study's objective is to demonstrate the advantages of digital procurement in the construction industry. Four phases of the digital procurement model were established including the identification of the scope of procurement study, identifying applicable technologies, implementation, and warehousing and distribution. Cross Docking is implemented to strategize materials dealt with in the central warehouse logistically. The current study can be a basis for other companies planning to implement procurement digitization.
