PNet's eProcurement solution streamlines Requisitioning, Approvals, Purchasing Management, Receiving, Inventory Control, Catalog Management, and eSourcing.
PurchasingNet's eProcurement
solutions allow employees to quickly and easily process requests
for Capital or Expense items. These requests are then routed electronically
for the appropriate approvals. The requests are then either turned
into Requisitions and sent to the Purchasing Department, or are
converted into Orders and sent directly to pre-approved Suppliers.

Requisitions
& Direct Orders A Requisition is request that goes to the Purchasing Department to be converted into a Purchase Order. A Direct Order is a request for an item or service that goes to the supplier after approval.
PNet eProcurement brings Web-Based Requisitioning and Direct Ordering
to the employee desktop via a standard web browser. This enables
organizations to automate paper-based requisitioning processes
without having to install software on each PC. Employees are given
access to ordering from standard or custom catalogs, predefined
kits, or they can initiate a free-form request.
Employees can also be given the option to order
items directly from a supplier where contracts are already in
place. This eliminates the need for Purchasing to be involved
in repetitive, low value transactions.
PNet eProcurement also promotes employee self-service
by providing on-line inquiries. This empowers users to check the
status of requisitions, approval sign-off, and Open Purchase Orders
without having to call the Purchasing Department. More... |

Approvals
Web-based workflow streamlines the requisition approval process.
Approvals can be routed via the browser or through the existing
E-mail system. There is also the capability to have multiple levels
of approval based on line items or total value of the requisition.
The optional Budgeting Module is integrated
with the Requisitioning/Direct Ordering component of PNet eProcurement.
It helps ensure budgetary compliance during the requisitioning
process. The approval process can verify budget allocations and
have complete drill-down reporting capabilities. More... |

Purchasing
PNet eProcurement is a complete, function-rich Purchasing system
which interfaces seamlessly with the requisitioning system. After
the approval process is complete, requisitions are routed to the
Purchasing system, eliminating the need to re-key the data. Requisitions
can be routed automatically to a buyer's queue or can be assigned
on an individual basis to a buyer's in-box.
The Purchasing system provides the capabilities
for standard Purchase Orders, Quotes, Contracts, Blanket Orders
and Service Orders. Requisitions can be split or consolidated
as required based on the buyer's needs. More... |

Receiving
Receiving through PNet eProcurement can be either centralized
or remote. This gives organizations the option to control this
function in a variety of ways. All receipts can be processed at
one centralized receiving location, receipts can be processed
at remote points on the employee desktop, or processing can be
accomplished by any combination of the two.
Receiving is fully integrated with Requisitioning
and Purchasing, which ensures that complete, up-to-date information
is available to all users of the system. More...

Inventory Control
The functionality of PNet's Web-based Inventory Control system
enables companies with multiple sites, branches, or warehouses
to manage inventory levels throughout the enterprise.
Each site can manage their own on-hand inventory,
Re-Order Points, and Order Quantities via any standard Web-browser.
Inventory Control is integrated with Purchasing
and Receiving, ensuring connectivity throughout the enterprise.

eCatalog Management
PNet's Catalog Junction middleware allows companies to download
and maintain supplier eCatalogs without paying 3rd party catalog
maintenance fees. It also provides the capability to download
a subset of a supplier's total catalog. PNet Direct Catalog Connection (a.k.a. Punch-Out) allows suppliers to host and maintain catalogs.
Tools are provided to send orders directly to
your existing preferred vendors. These tools also help manage
your suppliers, control Contracts, Blanket Orders and Releases
that are consistent with your business processes.
Catalogs can be updated through PurchasingNet
Catalog Management services or we can provide you the tools to
manage catalog content on your own. More... |

eRFX and
Auctions
PNet offers an industry-leading eRFX module (electronic RFI, RFP,RFQ)
that supports the creation of qualitative and quantitative questions
in 8 formats, such as essay, yes/no, multiple choice and our MatrixTM
table format. Questions can be sectioned, sequenced and weighted
as required for the category, then scored and used for supplier
scorecards or to support decision-making analysis.
Whether you require pricing on raw materials, highly specified
engineered products, indirect goods or professional services,
PNet eRFX allows the user to create tailored RFP’s in order
to obtain the best response from suppliers. With several bid formats
to choose from and our variable labels feature, your team has
the ability to define what information is being asked of suppliers
and how they are going to view that information.
Whether the goal is to create the highest level
of competition among suppliers or to obtain the highest offer
when liquidating unwanted inventory, there is no more time-proven
method than an auction. PNet allows you to roll static RFP bids
forward and decide what suppliers will participate, what items
they will bid on and how the suppliers view their overall ranking
in a dynamic real-time environment. |

Contract Management
PNet offers a fully automated contract management process that starts
from collaborative contract creation, negotiation and award, and
includes risk, performance, compliance and deliverable tracking
and management, financial processing, and on-going event monitoring
and management. PNet Contract Management also includes a wizard-like
request entry function, Microsoft Word integration, and extensive
security and business intelligence features.
