Charting a Path to Procurement Excellence

In procurement, the status quo no longer meets the demands of the business. As companies increasingly focus on managing issues related to global growth, volatility and risk, procurement organizations are adapting and evolving. While there are significant challenges to address, there is also opportunity for procurement to define and expand its strategic value to the organization.

Procurement organizations still must deliver sustainable savings, while also playing a critical role in achieving key corporate objectives from mitigating volatility and risk, to enforcing compliance and maximizing operational performance.

As a pioneer of e-sourcing technology and having worked with procurement organizations at more than 350 Fortune 1000 and Global 2000 companies, Emptoris is uniquely positioned, and focused on, helping procurement organizations address the challenges they face.

Identify Sustainable Savings Opportunities

With Emptoris Spend Analysis, your organization will gather and analyze real-time spend data drawn from disperse ERP and financial systems. The solution will allow you to analyze and drill down on that spend data by category, geography, business unit or dozens of other dimensions, and identify and prioritize savings opportunities.

Target Complex Spend Categories

With Emptoris Sourcing, your organization will automate all sourcing events from reverse auctions to complex, multi-stage negotiations. The solution will empower your organization to realize best value, not just best price, from your supply base by factoring cost, risk and performance drivers into decision-making. Advanced sourcing and decision optimization capabilities, along with the solution's ease-of-use, will make sourcing even the most complex categories manageable by internal staff, allowing you to reduce reliance on external consultants and services.

Actively Manage the Full Supplier Lifecycle

With a large and increasingly global supply base, and supplier data scattered across disparate and diverse systems, companies are often overwhelmed with the management of supplier information—and applying this information to actionable supplier strategies. With Emptoris Supplier Lifecycle Management, your organization will have a single end-to-end solution that manages all the business processes associated with supplier management; including supplier on-boarding, qualification, risk assessment, performance management and rationalization.
