 e-Procurement - The 'Green Box'
Procurement Control
In an ideal world every staff member buys only what you want them to buy at the best possible price that you negotiated centrally. e-Procurement is a proven method that delivers this level of control over your procurement process.
The unique Green Box Hub platform enables you to upload catalogues from existing or new suppliers with a simple, easy-to-use interface. Alternatively, Biz4Green can provide this service for you.
Once transactions are placed, the system forwards them to your suppliers via a selection of methods including (but not limited to) post, fax, email or direct data interchange with technologies such as XML.
The system is flexible, transparent and makes keeping track of your spend, products and accounts simple.
The software provides a "multi-tenant" architecture which can be 'repainted' for individual clients and users but is based upon the same core technology.
Product Data Management
Greenbox Product Data Management (PDM) module facilitates the collection, storage and management of large volumes of product data.
PDM delivers a proven, automated means to source, transform, aggregate, and maintain product content from multiple channels and then publish tailored data views to systems and users as appropriate.
Purchasing
Greenbox Digital Purchasing allows buyers to build complex product and service requisitions from multiple vendors and facilitates all aspects of approvals, budgeting and purchasing process management.
Digital Storefront
Greenbox enables clients to sell their own products on line as well as buy and manage suppliers via a robust, scaleable and extremely flexible eCommerce solution.
Standard functionality for the combined e-commerce and e-procurement offering includes, but is not limited to, the standard module features.
Spend Analysis
Measuring and understanding spend is a pre-requisite to powering the kind of strategic sourcing initiatives that can deliver major cost reductions to any
organisation.
Implemented in conjunction with the Procurement solution modules, Greenbox Digital Spend Analysis delivers visibility and control of spend across all categories, systems and divisions throughout their entire source-to-pay cycle.
All system users are presented with role- based views of real-time spend and performance data to inform and support their day to day activities. Users can see at a glance comparative statistics to determine performance at any level, whether that be tracking NCI spend in their branch or monitoring global compliance rates.
Supplier Communication
Tiered communication capabilities allow customers suppliers and vendors to interface to Greenbox in a manner that suits their IT and operational capabilities.
