OVERVIEW

Replace scattered purchasing with a structured process.

Procurement often involves multiple people, approvals, suppliers, quotations, documents and follow-ups before a purchase is completed.

When these activities are managed through email, spreadsheets, messages and paper, it becomes difficult to understand what has been requested, approved, ordered or received.

Incodiv Tech develops procurement management systems that organize the complete purchasing journey around structured records and business-defined workflows.

The solution can operate as an independent procurement application or become part of a wider ERP, inventory or business management platform.

Spreadsheet Tracking

Procurement status is maintained manually across multiple spreadsheets.

Supplier Information Gaps

Supplier details and quotations are stored separately from procurement transactions.

Limited Visibility

Management cannot easily see pending, approved, ordered or received requirements.

APPROVAL WORKFLOWS

Route requests through the right people.

Approval requirements can differ based on department, request type, value or other business-defined conditions.

A procurement system can structure those approval stages so users can see where a request currently stands and what action is required next.

SUPPLIER MANAGEMENT

Keep supplier information connected to purchasing.

Supplier information becomes more useful when it is connected with quotations, purchase orders and procurement history.

Supplier profiles can maintain business details, contacts, categories, status, supporting information and related procurement transactions.

Keep quotations connected with the procurement requirement.

Where supplier quotation comparison forms part of the purchasing process, the system can maintain quotation records against the relevant request.

Commercial and operational information can then be presented in a structured format to support the organization's review process.

  • Supplier quotations
  • Price comparison
  • Delivery information
  • Supporting documents
09

PURCHASE ORDERS

Convert approved purchasing into structured orders.

Once the procurement requirement and supplier selection process are completed, the approved purchase can move into a purchase order.

Purchase orders can maintain supplier, item, quantity, pricing, delivery and related reference information.

GOODS RECEIVING

Know what was ordered and what arrived.

Receiving can be recorded against the relevant purchase order, creating a clearer connection between procurement and delivery.

Depending on the process, the system can support complete or partial receiving and pass accepted quantities into inventory.

INVENTORY CONNECTION

Connect purchasing with stock movement.

01 REQUIREMENT Purchase Request
02 PROCUREMENT Purchase Order
03 DELIVERY Goods Receipt

Where procurement and inventory are part of the same business platform, approved receiving can create the appropriate stock movement and reduce the need to enter the same information again.
