In many developing countries where the transportationinfrastructures arelimited, the supplychain systems are suffering from opportunity lost, return cost, and the flexibility of the logistics system. In particular, there is lacking efficient network modelsfor material supplyingand purchasing. In this study, a centralized supply chain model for material supply and acquisition in developing countriesis proposed. The model utilizes the application of Web-basedapplicationsas a centralized informationsharingand optimizationacross multiple suppliers and customersin the network. The model allows suppliers to provide sufficient information about theirproductsand delivery details. On the other hand, customers are supported to find the products of their need in a fast,accurate, and economicalway.The study model is expected to provide small and medium firms necessary tools to reducetime and cost in their business strategy.
