eProcurement
The increased momentum in the B2B on-line market is being driven by the emergence of eProcurement systems, which aim to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the procurement functions in organisations.
Whether you are selecting an e-procurement partner or already have a solution, the eProcurement team at Equanet will be able to support you with practical help in resolving tactical content issues or more complex integration solutions.
We can design and implement a free, bespoke eProcurement solution to meet any specific needs you may have. We do this primarily by listening to and understanding your needs, and then building a solution mapped specifically onto your systems. Equanet offers this service free of charge and will send an experienced account manager and eProcurement professional to meet with you to discuss your objectives.
Equanet partners with the world’s leading eProcurement solution providers - Ariba, Oracle, Biomni, Elcom - to ensure that whatever systems you currently use, our eProcurement capabilities will integrate seamlessly.
There is no catch and no cost, this is all part of the Equanet service. Compare our prices to those of other suppliers and you’ll see that we are not covering the costs of added benefits in product or service pricing. As part of Europe’s biggest buying power, DSG International, we can pass on savings to offer a better service at a lower price to our customers.
Customised Extranets - Get On-Line with Equanet
Save Money
Your own company branded dedicated extranet will give you
visibility of your centrally-negotiated pricing structure thereby reducing the time you need to spend chasing quotes.
We recognise that the cost of raising purchase orders in the traditional way can often far outweigh the actual value of the product being ordered. By utilising the efficiencies of eProcurement along with your pre-negotiated pricing we can help your organisation drive down the cost of procurement and enable greater levels of standardisation and efficiency. All of which provides true bottom-line benefits.
Reduce procurement costs, saving time and money through live access to:
- Real time price and stock information
- A bespoke order approval hierarchy
- Order tracking online
- Parcel tracking online
- Proof of delivery online
- Copy invoices and VAT information online
- Electronic invoicing
Increased Visibility and Control
Our eProcurement proposition offers electronic requisitioning, which enables your organisation to allocate users and their level of authorisation. This offering allows you the ease of eProcurement whilst retaining full control over levels of authority.
You can control multiple purchasing points more effectively through centrally approved products or technology ranges thereby empowering local purchasing points without losing control over IT and technology preferences.
Authorisation of spend becomes much more closely controlled with much less requirement for paper work or administration; our systems enable you to corral multiple Purchase Order proposals from across your organisation into one basket, authorise or decline and then generate one consolidated order with one invoice.
Our systems give you instant management reporting in whatever formats you require. Our eProcurement team will work with you and your account manager to define your reporting requirements and set up your bespoke system to deliver this.
Save Time & Increase Efficiency
Electronic requisitioning & ordering - reduces manual 
administration saving time and cost as well as reducing the risk of error.
Electronic invoice matching further reduces manual administration time in authorising invoices for payment and reduces the number of errors.
If you have deployed an eProcurement system, then Equanet also provides the richest product content through the use of "punch-out" technology that allows users to leave their e-procurement system, enter our web environment to select products, and then return to their system with all product data, ready for the internal approval process.
