The procurement process in SAP® – step on the gas, not the brakes

Procurement processes in companies have a high potential for optimization. Purchasing should be effective – but there are many small processes within procurement management which cause problems. Paper-based processes distributed across several locations – lack of transparency already obscures the procurement process, and many other phenomena, such as maverick buying are the result.

Does your company already use SAP® (SAP® MM, SRM or Ariba)? If you can answer that question with yes – wonderful, you have taken the first step towards a gain in efficiency. Now take the second step with our solution EASY PCM Procurement. We refine and optimize some crucial places in the SAP® system, use the entire SAP® document flow and enhance it, if necessary, with approval workflows and an integration of documents. Accelerate now and increase transparency and efficiency with digital procurement management. EASY Procurement supports the complete procurement process in SAP® – from the purchase requisition to the order to invoice receipt and on to contract management.
