Several independent surveys report that ad hoc purchases represent a third of the average company’s total procurement. A large part of these are “Maverick” purchases, done without guidelines and outside of existing agreements. This is expensive, increasing procurement costs by as much as 35%.

We'd like to help you cut these unnecessary costs and put the money back where it belongs: your bottom line.

Automated purchasing processes provide a cost-efficient way to manage and control your organization's requisitioning, approval, and ordering.  Our solution offers significant process improvements to both product/catalogue-based purchasing as well as essential service-based procurement, for example, maintenance, travel, cleaning services, telephone services, corporate security etc.

 

ReadSoft's automated procurement solution brings significant gains to your organization:  

  • increased visibility and process control
  • shortened time to sourcing savings
  • increased spend control and compliancy
  • the ability to leverage contracts for efficient purchasing
  • the opportunity to negotiate corporate expenditure discounts 

 

 

How it works: Requisitions are sent for review and approval using multi-level review and approval workflows that are easily adapted to meet your company policies. Once a requisition is approved in accordance with your purchase policy rules, an electronic order can be created automatically or by a professional buyer.

  • Rely on built-in best practices to provide ease of use, a high level of automation, and an overall compliance with policies and contracts.
  • The Audit trail functionality documents the entire process provides total visibility of the process.
     

Scope

Any authorized person can create a purchase order requisition for any authorized item through an easily used web connection that also provides approval workflow and SAP purchase order generator.
