Real-Time Reporting and Monitoring for Procurement

At a glance, the Procurement Overview Page displays the most important information and tasks relevant for a purchaser. All the relevant information is shown on a single page - visualized attractively and efficiently on actionable cards for multiple types of content. The user-friendly experience makes viewing, filtering, and acting upon data simple, faster and smarter – even on mobile devices. Analytical list pages are also provided to monitor purchase contract items, supplier confirmation, and purchase order items.

The purchaser views a high-level overview of important information, such as expiring contracts, overdue purchase orders or urgent purchase requisitions as well as an overview of different procurement KPIs.
