The context based ordering assistant is part of our advanced guided buying tools & ordering assistants extension of ZUGSEIL Shop.

It allows predefined stakeholders of a team specific ordering process to work together in a collaborative environment. Typical stakeholders are:

  • Strategic buyer
  • Organization's operative buyers / lead buyers
  • Operative team managers
  • Team members

Ultimately the context based ordering assistant allows team members to shop from a product sortiment, which is narrowed down to exactly the demand and organizational requirements.

Example for team ordering in the domain of Personal Protective Equipment

This example is typical for personal protective equipment, which is highly regulated as it ensures the protection of staff.

  • The strategic buyer for personal protective equipment (PPE) defines suppliers and accepts their catalogs. These catalogs are the foundation for PPE procurement.
  • The organization's PPE lead for personal protective equipment defines team type/job profile specific catalogs, predefining from which products the team managers can decide for their staff members
  • Depending on the team type / job profile the team managers can adopt the entire catalogs from the PPE lead and eventually add or remove individual articles from PPE lead catalogs.
  • The team member will only see the products made available from its team leads.
