E-Procurement

Purchase to Pay and catalog management via the Intranet

Purchase orders simplify processing of incoming invoices and support analyses in financial accounting. By deploying a central solution, all authorized employees can now easily report, approve, and order their requirements via the Intranet. The cooperation between Heiler Software and ReadSoft has increased efficiencies within purchasing as a result of combining "Purchase to Pay" with the search function for supplier catalogs in one central location. A mountain of paper forms, "snail mail", and complicated SAP transactions for purchase requisitions have become a thing of the past.

 


Using ReadSoft's Process Director Software, users open the requisition form, enter the relevant information, and start a workflow. Process Director integrates requirement notifications and invoice releases into the same application. As a result of having direct access to Heiler Business Catalog, users can also immediately find, visualize, compare, and order all items available in purchasing.
