Procurement Engine
Multiple components to launch Road Freight Marketplace
Procurement management is featured to encompass the evaluation, selection, and creation of contractual agreements as well as managing the company’s ongoing supplier relationships. The process includes the transactional purchasing of goods and services and integrates with the accounts payable to complete the source-to-settle cycle by providing supporting documents to help with the processing of supplier invoices for payment.

Develop strong relationships
Each supplier's record is tracked over time, so ongoing relationships are managed on facts.
Key benefits
Why teams switch it on.
Increased certainty and quality
Suppliers are evaluated and selected against the same criteria every time.
Cost control
Every rate is compared with its route's benchmark before it is awarded.
Reduced risk
Contracts and supporting documents are in place before a supplier invoice is paid.
Also in source
Procure carriers on rate and performance rather than habit, and run the whole vendor and marketplace relationship in one place.
