Agreed prices & cost planning
Use blanket purchase agreements and price lists to support consistent item costing and supply forecasts.
The challenge
Where visibility makes a difference
A purchasing decision needs more than a price. Teams also need clear requirements, delivery options and a record of why a supplier was selected.
Sourcing by habit
Comparing eligible suppliers helps teams assess value and document the reasons for their selection.
Decisions without evidence
Research and quotations spread across emails take time to retrieve. PIMS keeps supporting information with the requisition.
Shipping as an afterthought
A low unit price may come with higher delivery costs or delays. Visibility of shipping options supports better purchasing decisions.
Why teams rely on it
Built around the realities of daily operations.
- Based on operational needs: use forecasts and resupply plans to inform requisitions.
- Evidence for decisions keeps sourcing research available for review.
- Connected procurement through supported ERP & procurement systems integrations.
- Clear responsibilities for requesters, buyers and approvers.
