The WorkMate Procurement Suite delivers three distinct business solutions that can be deployed flexibly and modularly to meet the unique demands of your business. Our technology can be delivered from within the customers own environment or as a service via outsourced hosted solutions. The applications are built on a common framework utilising the .Net technology platform, incorporating enterprise-scale technology that delivers security, flexibility, compatibility, and integration with other enterprise solutions. The primary goal of our products is to bring together all different aspects of procurement under a single technology platform to deliver measurable business benefits across the enterprise. We aim to provide world-class functionality & collaborative self-service for Procurement Professionals and End Users, providing improved services and strategic advantages for your organisation.
Distributed Buying
Within all organisations there is need for a set of tools that can enable procurement services to be available to all users in a simple, real and managed way. Frequently this function is delivered in a complex fashion using tools not appropriate to the user or the business process needed. WorkMate Distributed Buying brings this requirement together via a set of applications that delivers intuitive user functionality, combined with flexible and powerful business control. Within the applications there is dual support for simple day to day purchasing, and also the ability to provide for the needs of the complex procurement professional. These tools provide full functionality for the purchase-to-pay process, incorporating requisition creation and management, approval processing, order release and management, supplier interaction, goods receiving and invoice verification and control. The delivery of these business functions from a common set of services provides significant benefits to all users and their ease of use means they can be deployed across any organisation in a relatively short time.

Centralised Buying
Today, businesses are expected to build numerous centralised functions and applications to support the use of procurement services across any organisation. These are typically complex services that require significant access from users in diverse business functions needed to achieve the strategic buying objectives from management. These functions give the ability to create a centralized purchasing environment accessible to all, tools to build catalogues and manage data, manage the process of contract creation and negotiation, support tender creation and execution, management reporting and KPI dashboards. To create a common set of services that can bring all of these people and functions together in a collaborative and logical manner can greatly enhance the procurement services delivered, and also ensure rigorous buying compliance for everybody.

Supplier Collaboration
An important objective in delivering efficient enterprise procurement services across any organisation is to include all parties involved in the procurement process. Frequently this happens to leave the Supplier on the outside, lacking information and in circumstances where communications are more likely to break down. This breakdown leads to increased order errors, incorrect pricing, lack of contract compliance and invoice reconciliation issues. We have developed a number of supplier collaboration tools designed to effectively communicate in real time with the supplier, the buyer’s requirements exactly and to allow the supplier to react in an efficient manner knowing that the information and requirements they have are correct. Also incorporated into these tools is the ability for the suppliers to self manage significant functions of their own ordering process for greater efficiencies. These functions support request for quotation, supplier order management, project call off, invoice control, catalogue data management and B2B services. Our experience has shown that using these tools together greatly improves supplier relationships and performance and can provide significant bottom line procurement performance efficiencies.
