Challenges Odoo Procurement Solves
Poor Vendor Communication. The vendor portal provides a centralized place for vendors and buyers to communicate and collaborate and keep all relevant project details and documents.
Vendor Compliance. Ensure vendors understand and are in compliance with regulations and corporate standards.
Unnecessary Spending. Approval processes ensure purchase requests are approved before being processed into an order and sent to a supplier.
Inaccurate Data Capture. Upon receipt of an order, mobile scanners can be set to “force scan,” ensuring all relevant data is entered before items can be received.
Manual Processes. Minimize the manual processes involved in issuing a new PO to a vendor by using existing purchasing contracts and blanket POs.
Poor Supplier Performance. Use simple workflows and the vendor scorecard to effectively track vendor performance.
