Efficient workflows to optimize procurement
Minimize idle time internally and simplify operational procurement processes – with a digital procurement platform, more efficient workflows are easy to implement.
At many companies, procurement departments are often still faced with a large number of manual tasks and processes that can sometimes be time-consuming. They include coordination or approval processes where buyers literally run from desk to desk to collect the necessary approvals and signatures for a purchase order. Sometimes, a query needs to be raised with an employee from a specialist department because it is unclear which products are being ordered. What is more, special products, materials and supplies can require a lengthy search for a suitable supplier.
Lean and reliable processes in procurement
One thing is clear: buyers can only avoid bottlenecks in the company warehouse and buy the right goods quickly if they can rely on lean workflows and approval processes. Procurement departments can use a digital procurement platform like Wucato to minimize internal idle time and simplify operational purchasing processes.
Favorites, requisition templates and the Wucato scanner
Several features of the B2B platform help them to achieve this: for example, procurement can define favorites on Wucato and create requisition templates for recurring requirements or specific departments. This allows orders to be placed at the touch of a button – long searches for the right products are a thing of the past. Wucato also makes communication between specialist departments and procurement easier: the departments can report their requirements directly via the platform and have an order placed instead of having to buy the products from third parties themselves. This speeds up the process for the department concerned and ensures that the procurement department has an overview at all times. Approval processes can also be mapped and automated on the platform. Operational purchasing becomes child’s play with the Wucato scanner: the device uses software to transfer the products scanned directly to your shopping basket.
A digital procurement platform like Wucato is an easy way of designing efficient workflows and optimizing procurement processes – and operational procurement can focus on tasks other than approval processes and follow-up requests.
