1. More efficiency
By switching from an outdated and often manual system to a procurement solution, you and your calculation department can do a better job and save time. Automating the core tasks of calculation and procurement reduces the administrative burden on your team. This way, they can put their time into things that really matter. By ensuring consistent workflows, such as using standardized templates and procedures, fewer mistakes are made and no time and energy is wasted on handover.
2. Maintain an overview
In a lot of workplaces, there is often a jumble of work documents that are stored in different ways. A procurement platform provides an overview of your work and makes it clear where you spend most of your time (or lose it!). This way, you can reduce costs and create additional value.
Do you have multiple teams working from different offices or departments? Within a procurement platform, you can track the status of all your subcontractors, requests, quotations, and responses in real time and see all (internal and external) communication and notes. A procurement solution also provides insights into your team's strengths and areas for improvement. This way, you can share knowledge and connect expertise. At 12Build, we call this collective intelligence.
3. Easy to use
With a procurement solution, you can do more work in much less time. Think about sending out a quotation request, keeping track of the right documents, communicating with subcontractors and keeping an eye on the status of all the tasks and questions you send out.
4. Security
If files, data and programs are no longer stored on your own devices, are they still safe? And if you can access data remotely, what will keep a cybercriminal from accessing your valuable information? These are questions that discourage many organizations from moving to the cloud. But the cloud is actually the place that offers security. For example, the number one priority of cloud services is to prevent third parties from accessing your data.
Protecting your online data is a top priority for SaaS solutions. They do this through comprehensive, industry-leading security and technologies that are constantly updated. In addition to mandatory security, they are constantly expanding existing security controls.
