The In-tend Automated Sourcing module uses Approved Suppliers Lists organised by postcode to drive requisition allocation, minimising the time spent from request through to sourcing.
Time governed response parameter can be configured on each requirement to ensure maximum flexibility depending on requirement.
Provision rates are stored against an area so the supplier can operate up to 4 different rates within a specific area, which could be unique from any other area they work in.
This system can be run in conjunction with or completely independently from your current e-Procurement system.
- Allow a streamlined management of requirement allocation.
- Use requirement postcode to drive relevant approved providers.
- Preferred providers within a postcode area can be notified of a requirement and given priority to provide against the opportunity.
- Input requirement details manually, or automate this via an API.
