Measure your purchasing performance with high granularity
Rapidly provide pertinent analyses
Widely distribute dashboards adapted to each individual's need

Regular, granular measurement of purchasing performance on all dimensions is essential to strategic and tactical management of the purchasing function.

Ivalua’s purchasing dashboard module comes with dozens of the most common procurement indicators already built-in, covering the main areas of purchasing performance. Indicators specific to each client can be added to this dashboard.

OLAP Cube technology makes it easy to produce analyses on the fly, covering many dimensions at a time, or to delve into the archive of analyses that already exist.

The tool also offers the possibility for authorized users to create their own specific reports. A report can be created in a few clicks and then exported to Word or Excel.

Finally, each user can lay out their own dynamic Purchasing Control Center as they see fit, displaying in real time selected indicators over the period of the analysis, the purchasing category or the entities of their choice.

Ivalua’s teams and consulting partners provide the skills and expertise necessary for the successful deployment of the Spend Analysis tool, and for the best possible use of the analyses that it produces.

Design and configuration

Starting with the client’s functional specifications, Ivalua experts work in close collaboration with their teams to configure the activated modules, set up the validation workflows, the alert systems, the data import, treatment and export procedures, the interfaces with other tools and the analytical indicators and reports.

Data migration

It is important to migrate existing historical data to Ivalua Buyer, to maximize the analytical potential of the system, right from the start of production.

Ivalua assists customer’s data migration with its ETL tool (extract, transform, load), to mass transfer historical data from existing sources (Excel, other information systems, ERP, etc.).

Integration

Ivalua’s teams install the interfaces necessary to perfectly integrate Ivalua Buyer into each client’s environment, using our standard connectors designed for the principal ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning)/accounting systems on the market.

Training

In addition to the application documentation and existing help screens, Ivalua and its partners offer onsite training or e-learning courses adapted to each type of user group.

Acquisition

The software is licensed and installed locally by the client. The client’s IT service takes charge of the administration of the application. They can subscribe to the application maintenance and user support services provided by Ivalua as they see fit.

SaaS

Ivalua’s SaaS offer includes the provision of the application, the maintenance and the hosting of the software on account of the customer. This comprehensive service is offered over a contractually determined period for a monthly fee.

On Demand

The On Demand offer allows the client to subscribe to the same service as in SaaS mode, but over a much shorter period, linked to a particular event: for example, an RFQ or an auction. Therefore, pricing is established on an event-by-event basis and on the frequency of tool usage in order to manage these events.
