Guided buying
Advantages of guided buying in a well integrated procurement system include spend under management, sticking to frame agreements, and cost savings.
Procurement and guided buying
A solid guided buying process is business-critical
Today more than ever, everyone from the CFO and CPO to the procurement department and anyone making purchases in a company agree that digital guided buying has become a business-critical process. Whether it’s the daily purchasing for the ordinary goods, more complex needs such as services or MRO procurement, or quickly reacting to changing requirements, it all needs to be data-driven.
What does the post-pandemic, new normal look like for procure-to-pay? In the rapidly changing world, we suggest a fully digital process with full integration to your ERP and suppliers. It will make a world of difference.
