DEFINITION

What is procurement performance software ?

Procurement performance software is a centralised solution designed to help the procurement department structure its processes, control its spend and improve its supplier management. This choice of centralisation allows your company to control its budget and optimise the whole supply chain.

Through a centralised platform, the software simplifies the purchasing process at every stage: supplier sourcing, order placement, management of invoices and the paymentcycle. By automating repetitive tasks, your teams free up time for higher value work.

BENEFITS

Benefits of procurement performance software

Better management of the purchasing process

Purchasing management software enables simpler and more transparent management of purchasing processes within your company. By centralising every stage - from the purchase request through to receipt of goods and services - the platform makes collaboration between departments and stakeholders easier.

Through customisable validation workflows, multi-level validation approval routes and real-time order tracking, the software centralises requests internally and shortens processing times. Your staff gain greater visibility over every stage of progress, which avoids delays and errors.

By digitalising certain administrative tasks and offering advanced reporting tools, procurement performance software frees your professional buyers from time-consuming work and lets them focus on negotiation andoptimising the management of your contracts.

Budget optimisation and spend reduction

Another major benefit of procurement performance software is its role in optimising the budget and reducing spend. By providing an overview of your financial commitments, the solution quickly detects sources of waste and identifies savings opportunities.

Through spend analysis, price comparison and contract tracking, the software helps your procurement managers take better-informed decisions and negotiate better terms. It makes it possible to establish stricter purchasing policies and better control non-essential spend.

The essential KPIs - contract compliance rate, savings achieved, supplier performance indicators - are available at a glance through configurable dashboards . Purchasingautomation reduces manual handling and the risk of error: from the order through to invoiceprocessing, your data analysis becomes more reliable and your management more responsive.

METHODOLOGY

How to measure the performance of the procurement function ?

01

Defining objectives and performance criteria

Before measuring the performance of the procurement function, clearly defining the objectives to reach and the performance criteria is essential. These objectives may include cost reduction, improving supplier quality or optimising delivery times. The ability to measure them over time determines the maturity of your procurement department.

02

Data collection

Data collection is a fundamental step in evaluating the performance of the procurement function. It involves gathering information on spend, orders, suppliers, delivery times, inventory and so on. Data can be collected from different tools and sources: the procurement performance software itself, management tools, financial reports, supplier invoicesand more.

03

Cost analysis

Cost analysis makes it possible to assess the effectiveness of spend within the purchasing function. It involves comparing actual costs with planned budgets, identifying sources of excessive or non-essential spend and looking for savings opportunities.

04

Assessing delivery times and inventory management

Assessing delivery times and optimising the supply chain are essential to evaluate the operational effectiveness of the purchasing process. It involves monitoring supplier delivery times, assessing stock availability and detecting any anomaly in the logistics chain.

Although Axiscope does not manage inventory directly, our platform offers a built-in feature allowing easy connection to external inventory management systems. This connectivity enables transparent, effective inventory management by synchronising data between Axiscope and the inventory system your company uses. So even if you use third-party software for inventory management, you can still benefit from Axiscope's advanced features to optimise your purchasing processes and improve your supply chain.

05

Compliance with standards and regulations

Compliance with standards and regulations is an important aspect of procurement performance. It involves making sure your company's purchasing practices comply with applicable laws and regulations, particularly on safety, environmental protection and CSR compliance - an obligation linked to the CSRD directive for companies with more than 250 employees.

06

Assessing supplier relationships

Assessing supplier relationships measures the quality of the partnerships between your company and its panel. It involves checking supplier satisfaction, measuring their performance on quality and lead times, and identifying opportunities for collaboration and continuous improvement.

07

Innovation and process optimisation

Innovation and process optimisation are important performance criteria for the procurement function. It involves continuously looking for improvement opportunities in your purchasing processes, implementing best practices and emerging technologies, and encouraging a culture of continuous improvement within your team.

08

Reporting, communicating results and adjusting the strategy

Communicating procurement performance results is essential to keep internal and external stakeholders informed of progress. This means producing regular reports on procurement performance, communicating the results and providing relevant information and analysis to support decision-making.

Finally, adjusting the strategy is an important step in continuously improving the performance of the purchasing function. It means regularly reassessing procurement objectives and strategies, taking account of feedback and changes in the business environment, and adjusting plans and actions accordingly.
