Therefore, we hope that new features will also increase efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability in the procurement transaction process," said Hendi.

The advantages of other new features are presented by LKPP through the convenience of finding products, making payments, and monitoring the ongoing transaction process. Users will be able to quickly find the information they need, thus accelerating the process of procuring goods/services.

Director of Enterprise & Business Service Telkom Indonesia FM Venusiana R. on his occasion said that the Electronic Catalog version 6 was designed as a digital platform that facilitates the government's process of procuring goods and services.

"By presenting a list of goods and services products that have gone through the verification and assessment process, our hope is to create a more competitive procurement system and provide benefits for buyers (buyers) and sellers (sellers). In the future, we are committed to continuing to innovate and update the national procurement system in Indonesia, for the greater purpose, namely Indonesia's sustainable economic growth and improving the welfare of all Indonesian people," said Venusiana.
