Your benefits
  • Item numbers
  • Order value limits
  • Approval procedures
  • Product range restrictions
  • Core product ranges
  • Unit price limits
Schedule a demo
That's how it works
Article Information
The core product range can be individually defined and marked, allowing employees to preferentially access specific, centrally managed items. This allows the product range to be used as white labeling for targeted management. Customer article numbers can also be stored via upload or manual entry. This ensures consistent allocation and quick identification of the desired products.

Unit Price Limits
For users, groups, or globally, you can define the maximum unit price for orders, ensuring consistent implementation of purchasing policies. Please note that this setting does not apply to OCI shops.
Order Value Limits
Maximum shopping cart values ​​can be precisely defined, allowing you to accurately control the order value for individual users, groups, or the entire company. Specific minimum order values ​​can also be set for each supplier, reliably preventing unnecessary additional costs such as minimum order surcharges and excessive shipping costs.
About the prices
Product range restriction
For users, groups, or the entire company, rules can be flexibly defined specifying which suppliers, product groups, catalogs, and shops are accessible. Purchasing can be restricted to the defined core product range for each supplier. Automatic assignments for new suppliers, as well as the ability to batch edit and copy rules, ensure significant time savings and maximum flexibility when adapting procurement guidelines.
Approval Processes
Multi-stage, individually configurable approval processes ensure compliance with all requirements. Representative roles and numerous approval parameters can be flexibly defined. During the approval workflow, employees can adjust the shopping cart, correct quantities, or change master data such as cost centers and general ledger accounts. This not only prevents errors but also makes investments and fixed assets easily manageable through the standardized procurement process.

Automated synchronization with the ERP system at freely selectable intervals ensures that you can post to current orders, projects, or cost centers without manual effort.

General Ledger Accounts

Custom general ledger accounts are managed centrally in simple system and can be automatically linked to the corresponding items in the shopping cart based on ECLASS product groups. This prevents data entry errors, reduces accounting effort, and optimizes data quality for subsequent analyses.

Budgets
Budgets can be set up individually on a cost center basis. Automatic renewal and flexible budget limits are possible. As soon as a budget is exhausted, the system automatically interrupts the further ordering process in the shopping cart. This ensures consistent cost control and effectively prevents budget overruns.
Schedule a demo
User-Based Budgets
Specific budgets can be defined for each user and optionally linked to particular product groups. For example, it's possible to automatically monitor individual employees' PPE budgets without manual administrative effort or restricting the use of other product groups.

Purchasing Analysis

This includes analyses of external ordering systems and clear dashboards for rapid process optimization.
