eProcurement saving your business
Equanet’s eProcurement website is a smart and efficient way of purchasing IT equipment and services. You will be up and running in just a few minutes, and it is completely free.
Electronic procurement allows organisations to purchase supplies and services through the Internet. eProcurement can help save both time and money.
The savings are there to be made in lot of ways – by saving time, costs and through better management of resources. With eProcurement, organisations can reduce the workload of ordering IT equipment. By allowing users access to an eProcurement website, managers can pass the work over to them, while maintaining control over the purchase choices and the expenditure.
The Clear Benefits
Company Branded Extranet
An eProcurement system alllows you to have your own company branded dedicated extranet, which will give you visibility of your centrally-negotiated pricing structure thereby reducing the time you need to spend chasing quotes.
Blanket Discounted Pricing
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.
Requisition Approval System
Build an order approval map on our website with different user privileges. Users can be given ‘spend limits’ and any potential orders above these limits are forwarded to the nominated approver(s). The system is email-driven, and requisitioners and approvers are kept informed of new requisitions to approve, and the status of any outstanding requisitions at all times.
Corral multiple Purchase Order proposals from across your organisation into one basket, authorise or decline and then generate one consolidated order with one invoice.
Pre-selected Product Restrictions
With the Equanet website you can decide exactly what you want to be on the system - select your choice of hardware at every different level. So if you have already decided that HP is your company’s preferred supplier for notebooks, then the system will only display HP products in the notebook section.
Application Integration
Where our website differs from other websites is in its ability to integrate with any existing purchasing or ERP systems that your company might be running. With Equanet, you can ‘punch-out’ from your own system, enter the Equanet e-procurement website to select products and then return to your own system with all the product data. The website will work with a number of leading eProcurement solution providers including Ariba, Oracle, Biomni, SAP and Elcom, as well as other e-market place organisations.
