Posted on:18 March 2020 by Suntosh Mankodi

Cimmra eProcurement Suite enables Sourcing Process Continuity in times of #SocialDistancing, when you #WorkFromHome during the #Covid-19 #Pandemic to avoid #CoronaVirus
With the sudden onset of hard times in wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, organizations worldwide are buckling over trying to keep up with their inbound supply chain requirements.
One major disabling factor has been the inevitable requirement of social distancing – leaving several sourcing activities hanging midway. It’s bitter: negotiations, conventionally managed face-to-face, couldn’t be completed as the rapid global spread of the contagion mandated lock-down of the offices, forcing Suppliers also to work from home.
A section of Porward-looking organizations who took to eProcurement are however reaping benefits of their foresightedness and manage to be on track with their sourcing exercises. They carry out negotiations best managed remotely over Online Auctions Platforms, the kind Cimmra provides. And this too, happens unattended: with price reductions done voluntarily by each contending Supplier who wants to go all out to win your business within a Time Window allowed for the Reverse Auction. Even from their mobile phones!

PR Handling - Doing it Intelligently
How does Cimmra automate PR handling? The Cimmra eProcurement Suite is RPA driven; it reads up the PR content, parses it and looks up a pre-defined assignment matrix, to straightway forward it to the right Category Manager’s dashboard. Oh, doesn't it become so short and simple!
Highly Simplified PR Processing
- PRs that are assigned to a pre-nominated Category Buyer, would become available to be included in one or more Sourcing Events at the discretion of the Buyer.
Well, actually from here onwards, Sourcing with Cimmra keeps getting even more interesting. Why don’t you reach out to us on Cimmra for a free demo?
