To optimise control, professionals need the tools to effectively support the source-to-contract processes for routine goods and services, as well as capital goods and major projects. Most importantly, they need to streamline operations and obtain best value through effective supplier adoption, evaluation, and communication.

When the source-to-contract process is unstructured or lacks proper controls:

• Buyers struggle to obtain best value suppliers and agreements
• There is no accessible, well-classified directory of goods and services that makes sense for end users
• It is difficult to collect requirements from end users and manage complex sourcing events
• Supplier qualification and supplier on-boarding is often subjective and time consuming for both parties
• Inefficient contract management leads to duplicated agreements or automatic renewals, resulting in missed opportunities
• Buyers do not have visibility of the procurement process and spend analysis, forcing fire-fighting and additional administration
• Accounts Payable functions spend too much time answering supplier questions about invoices and payments
• There are limited organisational controls to support financial, buying and sourcing processes

Working with our clients, PROACTIS addresses these issues.
