Description

In Fall 2020, AMP completed the implementation of an eProcurement System, Shell Shop, which provides an online retail-like experience for purchasing goods and services. UMD Shoppers have direct access to preferred vendors and negotiated pricing, with automated approval workflows, and transparency into the transaction process.
