Procurement Marketplace
Bringing a modern, consumer style marketplace to your sector with minimum disruption
Our platform provides complete visibility and management of products, pricing, ordering and invoicing.
Our procurement marketplace, also known as B2B marketplace platform, is already being used in many major UK hospitals. In partnership with NHS Shared Business Services (SBS), it is used by Procurement Directors, Buyers and Requisitioners and allows easy searching of organisation approved catalogues to locate and requisition products, for buyers to electronically approve at the right price, all from one easy to use profile. Perfect for where there is need for a huge product range, alternative suppliers, a desire for a community type buying experience and rich product content including images.
We can connect and operate with your existing systems
With no clear stock visibility and laborious manual processes many current systems are no longer fit for purpose. Switching to our platform is easy and interoperable with existing legacy systems. In addition, our catalogue system allows suppliers to put their pricing information directly from their own systems onto our platform which, once authorised by your procurement team, is then live. This means that prices will always be current and avoid problems with reconciliation further down the line as PO and invoice discrepancies and queries will be negligible.
