Some good news first! It is now possible to unify formats, processes, search criteria, and purchasing orders on an enterprise-wide platform and create a centralized supplier record/profile to facilitate buying, selling, and managing of
procurement vendors in a single location. In fact,
e-purchasing is the solution put forward by Ivalua, a software publisher, with its Ivalua Buyer Suite V6, and marketed, since 2000, as a series of related modules to suit all procurement requests and budget options. Performing both as a
spend management and supplier document repository, our solution is meant for easy document collaboration, sharing, and management of versions, comment capabilities and an audit trail.
You want to create value through sourcing initiatives and think that one way is to bring more spend under management?
With spend data spread out in diverse purchasing and payable systems, it is often difficult to build effective sourcing strategies and identify savings opportunities.
Collaborative sourcing and
e-purchasing are tailor-made tools that offer unexpected flexibility, such as on-request purchasing, elimination of excess inventories, better compliance with on-going and past contracts, and faster resolution of supplier disputes. Our program design includes a software implementation delivered via adaptable distribution models and license purchases, ranging from Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) mode to on-demand mode (when the service is linked to a particular event or workflow - an RFP, a reverse auction, a supplier grading campaign, or even the processing of an invoice or an expense report).
