Procurement performance software is a computer tool designed to help companies efficiently manage their purchasing process. It is an integrated solution that allows a company to control its expenses, optimize its budget, and improve its supplier management.
Through a centralized platform, the software facilitates the management of the various stages of the purchasing process, from the sourcing phase to order placement and supplier monitoring. By automating certain repetitive tasks, it saves time and optimizes the company's resources.
With advanced features such as expense analysis, supplier tracking, and performance dashboards, procurement performance software provides the company with a clear view of its purchasing activities. It also allows for the generation of detailed reports, thus facilitating decision-making and identifying optimization opportunities
Procurement performance software enables more efficient and transparent management of purchasing processes within a company. By centralizing all stages of the process, from purchase request to receipt of goods or services, it facilitates collaboration between different departments and stakeholders.
With features such as the creation of custom workflows, purchase request validation, and real-time order tracking, the software streamlines purchasing operations and reduces processing times. Users benefit from increased visibility on the progress of purchases, preventing delays and order errors.
By automating certain administrative tasks and offering advanced reporting tools, procurement performance software frees up time for purchasing teams, allowing them to focus on higher value-added activities such as supplier negotiations or contract optimization.
Another major advantage of procurement performance software is its role in budget optimization and cost reduction for the company. By providing an overview of expenses and financial commitments, the software quickly detects waste sources and identifies savings opportunities.
Through features like expense analysis, price comparison, and contract tracking, the software helps companies make more informed purchasing decisions and negotiate better terms with their suppliers. It also enables the implementation of stricter purchasing policies and better control of non-essential expenses.
With proactive supplier management and performance tracking tools, the software helps identify and reward top-performing suppliers while identifying those who fail to meet contract terms. This reduces supply chain risks and improves service quality
Before measuring the performance of the purchasing function, it is crucial to clearly define the objectives to be achieved and the performance criteria that will be used to evaluate the results. These objectives can include aspects such as cost reduction, improvement of supplier quality, or delivery time optimization.
Data collection is a fundamental step in evaluating the performance of the purchasing function. This involves gathering information on expenses, orders, suppliers, delivery times, stocks, etc. Data can be collected from different systems and sources, including the procurement performance software itself, ERP systems, financial reports, etc
Cost analysis allows for the evaluation of spending efficiency in the purchasing function. This involves comparing actual costs with planned budgets, identifying sources of excessive or non-essential expenses, and seeking savings opportunities.
Evaluating delivery times and supply chain optimization are crucial for assessing the operational efficiency of the purchasing process. This involves closely monitoring supplier delivery times, evaluating stock availability, and detecting any anomalies or delays in the logistics chain.

Thus, even if you use third-party software for stock management, you can still benefit from Axiscope’s advanced features to optimize your purchasing processes and improve your supply chain
Compliance with standards and regulations is an important aspect of purchasing function performance. This involves ensuring that the company's purchasing practices comply with applicable laws and regulations, particularly in terms of safety, environmental protection, and corporate social responsibility
Evaluating supplier relationships measures the quality of partnerships between the company and its suppliers. This involves monitoring supplier satisfaction, measuring their performance in terms of quality, delivery times, etc., and identifying collaboration and continuous improvement opportunities.
Innovation and process optimization are important performance criteria for the purchasing function. This involves constantly seeking improvement and innovation opportunities in purchasing processes, implementing best practices and emerging technologies, and encouraging a culture of continuous improvement within the purchasing team.
Communicating purchasing performance results is essential to inform internal and external stakeholders about the progress made and challenges encountered. This involves generating regular reports on purchasing performance, communicating results to different stakeholders, and providing relevant information and analysis to support decision-making
Finally, adjusting strategies is an important step in continuously improving purchasing function performance. This involves regularly reassessing purchasing objectives and strategies, taking into account experience feedback and changes in the business environment, and adjusting plans and actions accordingly to achieve set objectives.
The procurement action plan function allows for the management of procurement action plans in project mode. It enables users to effectively track and manage the various stages of procurement improvement projects by assigning responsibilities, defining deadlines, and monitoring progress.
This function allows for the development of Procurement Action Plans as well as progress plans for suppliers. It offers users the ability to set objectives, actions, and deadlines to improve the company's purchasing performance and strengthen supplier relationships.
This function enables the sharing of action plans with suppliers, including tracking achievements and results. It offers a secure collaboration space where companies can effectively communicate with their suppliers, track the progress of agreed actions, and transparently evaluate supplier performance.
The procurement dashboard offers a clear visualization of the status of ongoing procurement projects. Users can track the status of various actions and projects, view upcoming deadlines, and identify priorities at a glance. Tracking by status and Gantt chart visualization features facilitate the management and planning of purchasing activities.
These functions constitute an essential part of our procurement performance software, providing companies with the necessary tools to develop effective action plans, manage procurement improvement projects, collaborate with suppliers, and track their purchasing initiatives in real time for greater competitiveness.
