Sourcing software

Strategically source suppliers with Sourcing software to get the best value. With Proactis' Sourcing software you can obtain best value for the organisation by improving the effectiveness and transparency of both strategic and tactical sourcing processes, while dramatically reducing administrative time and effort. Sourcing provides a series of flexible, collaborative, and efficient methods for performing effective sourcing processes. It enables a structured, transparent, and easily tracked process from expression of need through to final contract award.

A practical first step to assessing your Source-to-Contract process:

As a Procurement leader in your organisation, have you been thinking your sourcing, supplier management and contract management processes could stand to be improved? Or maybe that they desperately need to be improved? Do you sense that those processes may be wasting precious resources (time, money, talent etc.) because they are not as effective or efficient as they should be? If it is time to rethink your Source-to-Contract (S2C) process, our Assessment Tool can help you do that in a structured manner.

With Proactis Sourcing software you can achieve:

• Fast and efficient supplier qualification process.
• Manual or automatic selection of suppliers.
• Reduced administrative cost per agreement.
• Improved process compliance, transparency, communication with suppliers and invoice payment.

Manage sourcing events with ease and professionalism

Proactis Sourcing makes it easy to define and manage each sourcing event as a project with a sequence of one-time and iterative stages. It's easy to see who 'owns' each activity, where things stand, and when the event will be completed. That way, you can establish consistent, compliant processes for every event.

Efficient and transparent qualification

You can deploy the software for all types of products and item groups, regardless of whether this concerns relatively simple quotation processes or extremely complex events. The Sourcing system guides you through the qualification process of suppliers in the fastest and most efficient manner and will, at the same time, capture all relevant data. This will guarantee a transparent and objective process where you can always demonstrate the validity of choices.

Create a level playing field for competitive bidding

Suppliers can respond to a request through the system, after which you can compare the delivered information simply and objectively. Besides this, you can negotiate online with multiple suppliers – the solutions online auctions (eAuctions). Once you have made your choice, the selected proposal will be converted into an order or contract automatically.

Get exactly what you need, every time

Sourcing helps you collaboratively define your selection criteria, specify questions, confirm contractual preferences and requirements and score responses automatically. You can create documents with questions that express precisely what your requirements are. It then streamlines the process of publishing them as RFI, RFP and/or RFQs, and structures and automates the process of scoring responses so you can confidently select the right option.
