Overview

We built this procurement platform for a manufacturer running several plants. Plant requests are grouped and turned into RFQs automatically, supplier quotes are compared on full landed cost including freight and tax, purchase orders likely to arrive late are flagged with reasons and reminders, gate receipts and quality disputes are logged at the factory, and invoices are matched against the order and receipt before payment — all synced with SAP.

The client
Several plants buying spare parts, raw materials and consumables from a large supplier base, with SAP as the system of record.
The brief
Requests took weeks to become purchase orders, late deliveries were noticed only when they stopped a line, and invoices sat for weeks in manual three-way matching.

Proposed features

What the system was designed to do for the client's teams.

  • 01

    Requests grouped across plants

    Matching requests from different plants combined to unlock volume pricing, with breakdown requests fast-tracked.

  • 02

    RFQs and landed-cost comparison

    Quotes compared on the full cost — price, freight, packaging, insurance and tax credit — not just unit price.

  • 03

    Late-delivery warnings

    Orders likely to arrive late are scored with the reasons, and reminders go to suppliers automatically.

  • 04

    Supplier dispatch portal

    Suppliers submit dispatch details, packing lists and vehicle information before the truck arrives.

  • 05

    Gate receipt and disputes

    Shortages, damage and quality rejections logged at the factory gate and sent to the supplier with photos.

  • 06

    Automatic invoice matching

    Invoices read and matched against the PO and goods receipt, with exceptions explained.
