Procurement and supply management - Program screenshot

The work of almost every enterprise is based on the need to use third-party resources, materials, and here it is important to build procurement and supply management in such a way that stocks are in the right amount, but at the same time, a balance is maintained, and over-saturation of the warehouse is not allowed. For the implementation of procurement processes, many employees should be involved, since this is a difficultly controlled mechanism, but the efficiency of the organization depends on how it is established. Only with timely provision of current projects with material resources can we achieve uninterrupted work, and as a result, achieve positive results in cooperation with clients. And, the larger the project, the more difficult it is to coordinate employees and departments for the productive fulfillment of tasks, therefore, more and more often entrepreneurs prefer to use modern technologies and tools for managing each delivery, preparing purchases, app algorithms allow forming a general supply scheme without errors and inaccuracies, practically eliminating the likelihood of abuse. Those companies that have already transferred the implementation of workflows to digital technologies have gained a significant advantage in a competitive environment. The formulas at the heart of app mechanisms are helping firms achieve greater results than ever before. Automation and implementation of specialized systems increase the chance of success in the current market conditions, as the procurement and supply management of the project becomes flexible and transparent in all aspects.

We offer for review one of such platforms, one called the USU Software, which compares favorably with similar offers by the possibility of choosing functionality for the needs of the company and the nuances of the implementation of activities. The program has a simple interface, which is very important considering how many users utilize it every day to perform work tasks. In most configurations, you need to take long training courses, practice many days to understand how the base is built, in the case of this platform, our specialists tried to foresee every moment and make intuitive functions, building internal modules. The app will help to maintain flexibility when passing complex areas in the procurement project, while simultaneously providing full monitoring, support of regulatory requirements for working with suppliers and contractors. The app will create conditions for scaling resources as the needs for procurement and supply management fundamentals increase, adjusting the budget, submitting it for approval. Program's configuration will help in consolidating the needs of the project for stocks, services, and will offer a centralized or decentralized procurement scheme. App's menu contains functions for conducting bid campaigns, importing lists for requests for resources from third-party apps, with subsequent consolidation and unification. Thanks to the internal settings of the USU Software, it’ll become easier to determine the sources of coverage for the needs of the enterprise, to bring procurement procedures to a single standard, conclude a contract and management of the execution of supplies and contracts in the database.

The program’s configuration handles any number of projects that will be conducted in the database, this is facilitated by a well-thought-out structure. It won’t be difficult to quickly configure the control mechanisms in the system, select auxiliary modules, arrange the working tabs for the convenience of the user. The multi-user mode helps in the implementation of one-time access to each user while maintaining a high speed of operations. Employees responsible for the delivery of goods, procurement of goods and materials will appreciate the opportunity to optimize working hours, transfer part of the operations to app algorithms, reducing the overall load. For the safety of data from unauthorized access when managing purchases and supplies, a mechanism is provided for differentiating the visibility of data for users of different levels and blocking of accounts during a long absence from the workplace. Also, to improve the quality of interaction between personnel, a communication module was implemented, through which the personnel of the enterprise will be able to exchange messages, resolve internal issues, send documentation without leaving the office. So, you can draw up an application for the purchase of a new batch and send it for approval to the management, which shortens the confirmation procedure when choosing a supplier. To ensure that supplies are based on only up-to-date data on the needs of departments, the program regularly updates the database, which eliminates confusion and errors. The organization's project management takes place in a strict structure of processes that are set up at the very beginning after implementation, thereby making it easier to monitor every detail. For each project, a separate action plan and a schedule of operations are developed in the application, taking into account the specifics of nomenclature units or groups. Implementation of procurement and the basis of supply management involves the involvement of many departments, filling out various documentary forms, which is much easier to implement using our development tools.

With the help of the USU Software’s functionality, it is possible to control deliveries at every stage of their execution, including quality characteristics, displaying the volume of rejects and complaints in the database. The system automatically monitors the delivery time of commodity, material values, the remaining positions in the warehouse, notifying in time of the need to replenish stocks in the near future. Software algorithms help prepare and calculate the project budget, providing accurate, economic calculations, describing each item. At the heart of the automation of supply chain management is the creation of conditions for maintaining the required quality of manufactured products, ensuring continuous monitoring and execution of orders on time, without exceeding the planned cost. Effective control affects not only the provision of resources but also finances, personnel, warehouse, providing management with tools for doing business at a distance. By means of the application options, it won’t be difficult to establish communication with customers, suppliers, and partners, increasing the rating of your company.

Managers always have up-to-date information necessary to make decisions on replenishing the warehouse with inventories, reducing the cost of purchasing materials, to establish mutually beneficial cooperation with suppliers.

The introduction of this procurement and supply management program helps to almost completely abandon the maintenance of paper archives, to organize electronic document flow. Internal mechanisms of the application help to reduce the period of formation and approval of applications for security, preparation of a package of documents. USU Software automatically monitors the compliance with budget indicators at the current time. Heads of departments receive tools to improve control over the spending of money and material resources. The entire provisioning cycle becomes more transparent, every action is easy to check, including the performer. By optimizing each stage of the supply, the risk of non-productive costs is reduced, and the company's expenses should be reduced.
