Benefits

Core benefits for our customers are:

• easy to learn - an internal shop, in which users file their demand in a homogeneous and standardized way.
• advanced guided buying - the internal shop simplifies product selection to your users massively. They see only products which are cleared for them by your centrally managed procurement governance taking into account the staff member data
• data ownership - data stays in their realm - they do not have to share information with any external third party. They only receive the catalogs from suppliers and send our purchase orders.
• independence - shop users neither have to learn for each supplier a different shop logic nor are they limited by availability and compatibility of supplier punch-out catalogs.
• procurement automation - a centrally managed procurement governance framework defines where goods are procured, also enabling multi-vendor strategies
• category specific workflows - specific categories require tailored workflows
• personal equipment management - when ordering equipment, the human aspect needs special features: body data management, size recognition & keeping, made-2-measure products, ... all this is well integrated into the standard shop
• Integration - ACCELERATE integrates easily with existing S2P- and P2P platforms.

It is the base product for customers which want to digitalize their procurement organization and processes. It enables these competitive advantages:

• Increasing team productivity - Product selection process can facilitate information from within the organization, without sharing it with a 3rd party. This enables levels of guided buying, which are unreachable by external procurement platforms.
• Reducing maverick buying - through the procurement governance framework, which takes information from procurement and operations, we are able to remove (!) maverick buying
• Enabling procurement automation - once staff member has delivered its requirements through the Shop UI, we have a procurement automation engine through with procurement can setup automatic procurement paths, which again take into account organizational information where to order.
• Integrating circular economy principles - helps reduce costs, minimize waste, and build more resilient, sustainable supply chains.
• Plug&Play - fully digitalized real time supply-chain information exchange with your suppliers and service partners. (not just "PDF instead of Paper" digitalization)
• Enabling Cross-Company Process digitalization - procure-to-pay functionaliry combined with digitalization of the full lifecycle of products and assets (e.g. laundry processes)
