Strategic Sourcing

 

The Comarch e-Sourcing module is a platform for collaboration between internal stakeholders and suppliers, supporting purchase event creation, bidding and award processes. The system is designed to ensure the transparency of decision-making process, increase the chances of concluding the best contracts available, and pursue the company’s purchasing strategy. The solution streamlines even complex tendering processes, whenever:

  • The tender concerns new items or services
  • The requirements are not clearly defined and/or complex
  • New suppliers need to be included
  • Confirmation and input is needed from alternative teams (such as design/engineering, quality, marketing, etc.)

Comarch e-Sourcing addresses these challenges by enabling purchase event owners to define stakeholders, tender items and evaluation criteria, and to assign workflow tasks to colleagues. The included B2B portal ensures smooth pre-qualification of suppliers, and transparent, effective communication in the tender process. Comarch e-Sourcing helps to leverage a company’s strategic sourcing in the total value management model.
