Strategic procurement

Strategic procurement — done digitally

smartPOINT is the control center for strategic procurement.

Various modules such as contract management, invitations to tender, price inquiries, bid price comparison list and approval, and project controlling are linked to each other and existing systems.

Strategic purchasing designs its processes in the way that makes the most sense for the company.

Suppliers are communicated with directly using smartPOINT, without them having to log on anywhere.

Simple, and yet everything in view best describes the functionality of smartPOINT.

And whatever is missing or does not fit immediately will be made to fit — without specifications, but simply in an agile manner. This is how strategic procurement should operate.

Developed by procurement professionals with procurement professionals for procurement professionals.

smartPOINT focuses processes on simplicity and still maps complex processes such as a tender. Templates and types structure strategic elements into reusable actions.

Communication with suppliers takes place directly from and with smartPOINT. A supplier portal in which a supplier must first register and log in is unnecessary. The connection to the supplier is simple and takes place via digital forms on the web. Suppliers can enter or update information about the company themselves. After all, they know their company best.

All information about a supplier is collected in the supplier file. Regardless of whether the information is provided by email or manual entry, the file contains the information independently of the email system.
