Since most manufacturing companies spend more than half their turnover on direct-goods procurement, there are often huge opportunities for savings, amounting to hundreds of thousands or even millions of Euros in the case of large enterprises. The ultimate goal of the Procurement Suite is to optimise information flows and automate all routine processes (such as replenishment call-offs, new-contract triggers, etc.) leaving the procurement professionals to concentrate on the critical tasks (such as contract negotiations and offer selection). Savings are generated by: Automating routine work (replenishment triggers, generating requests, reviewing offers, etc.), allowing purchasers to concentrate on more strategic issues Better access to information (improve negotiation power drastically by having quotes, historical data & reports readily available instead of lost in fax archives). Complete coverage of the supplier-base (no "last-minute ordering" from the local distributor without reviewing the other options from all approved suppliers.) Systematic workflow (the system imposes best-business-practices from the outset)
