CHALLENGES
High levels of maverick spend
With organisations growing in size and complexity, it is difficult to prevent rogue spending.
Overstretched workforce
There is a need to do more with less, and Procurement teams struggle to find the time to be strategic.
Lack of control
The current methods used for procurement, such as credit cards, take control away from Procurement teams.
Lack of visibility
With strict budgets, teams need the ability to understand (in real-time) how money is being spent across the organisation.
Poor communication levels with suppliers
Maintaining relationships and ensuring organisations are getting the best prices – and from a larger pool of suppliers – is increasingly difficult.
Poor traceability
If procurement teams are unable to understand where their organisation is sourcing items from, it is harder to meet sector-specific initiatives, such as increasing the use of local suppliers.

Efficiency, security and control
Having control across spending is critical to Procurement teams, as it ensures they can manage all parts of the sourcing process. We provide this by also empowering buyers to feel as if they are in control of their process.
Personal experienceWe ensure users only see the suppliers that organisations want them to purchase from, so procurement teams can get the maximum use out of supplier contracts at agreed prices.
Reduce maverick spendWith increased control on where users can make purchases, organisations will significantly reduce maverick spend.
Choice within a controlled environmentThe controlled choice within the system helps empower users to take control of the purchasing process.
