Procurement process support

Facilitating the approval of procurement needs and documenting the procurement process

Procurement process support

The company’s equipment must be refurbished from time to time, and the management sometimes decides to procure new devices. Although the needs triggering new procurement arise at organisational unit level, it is recommended to keep central records of them. We support the relevant process through the CRAFT Procurement module. The first step of every procurement process is to specify the needs, then assess them based on multiple criteria. (Grounds for the procurement, availability of funding and how long it takes to recover the investment.) The module supports gathering and arranging all documents created in the procurement process at a single location, and it also allows the company to store the relevant financial documentation in an accurate and complete form.
