Why is the procurement of MRO or indirect items easier with ScWare
E-Procurement Solution?
Setting up ScWare e-Procurement solution typically follows the following
steps :
ScWare Consultants determines the relationship between various components
of supply chain.
The buyer(s) determines how many suppliers and which suppliers to
keep in its supply base for indirect purchases.
The buyer(s) negotiates terms and conditions with the chosen suppliers,
including deeply discounted prices in return for volumes.
Through deployment of ScWare eProcurement solution, Digitized versions
of the suppliers' catalogs are loaded alongside the ScWare application.
Employees use computer browsers to search the catalogs of designated
suppliers, select items for purchase, and create requisitions (also
through the browser), and a purchase order (PO) is generated.
The PO is streamed directly into the supplier's inventory application
and the order is processed, the goods are shipped.
Invoicing and/or payment is made, sometimes through an electronic
bill presentment and payment process.
*MRO items = Maintenance, repair and operating supplies
Our customers that have enjoyed the benefits of buying indirect
or MRO items through ScWare eProcurement solution are now turning
