Multi-Tier Procurement Visibility App

Enforce risk-free procurement contracts and eliminate manual processes to reduce cycle times and enable real-time multi-party collaboration with verifiable, auditable records of transaction.

Overview

Organizations can be hit by unexpected supply chain disruptions, even as they struggle to integrate outdated, customized, and siloed systems and processes.

To address these challenges, organizations aim to leverage emerging technologies like blockchain, AI, and machine learning to automate intelligent sourcing and deal with procurement challenges such as:

Poor collaboration between internal business functions (Purchasing, Manufacturing, Finance) of an organization.
Manual and lack of standardized sourcing process involving data/document exchanges (Purchase Order, Sales Invoice, Good Receipt Note, Shipping Instructions, etc.).
Poor collaboration and coordination with suppliers and their business functions and related ecosystem (Custom House Agent (CHA), Transporter, Inspection agency, etc.).
Lack of supply chain visibility, leading to high safety stock levels and inventory carrying costs.
Manual paper-based invoice processing and long invoice processing cycle times.
Manual reconciliation and matching for payment processing to suppliers.
Little to no exposure on third-party risk management or extended supply chains and non-compliances to multi-geographic jurisdictional requirements.
Limited ability to perform analysis by vendors and categories.
