aSourcing is a collaborative tool for strategic sourcing that gives all field professionals the ability to perform online preparation, execution, monitoring and analyzing of sourcing events such as RFI, RFP, RFQ, English reverse auction, as well as different types of negotiations.
aSourcings makes the RFX process easy and speeds-up and simplifies the whole procurement flow, by using a set of complex, but easy to use tools. The online approach offers such possibilities which would not be possible to reach by standard tools like emails, personal negotiations, etc.
As mentioned, aSourcings is mainly a platform for strategic sourcing that helps companies and individuals identify opportunities for savings, and to continuously maintain and improve supplier relationships to deliver better results. Therefore the deployment of our platform and adopting to corporate procurement methodologies promises to reduce total acquisition cost while improving total value.
aSourcing is a tool that was built from the ground up on 3 Agile principles. The first consideration is the User and their application usability point of view; Secondary is functionality. Focusing on the application's features first, is not an ideal way to achieve user satisfaction as many features and options available, but not needed by the User for their specific tasks, slows down rather than streamlines the whole procurement process. Lastly, the technology utilized, because this is generally an insignificant part of the whole solution.
We believe if we deliver a solution that is quickly usable, without the aid of training, by an experienced User who has knowledge of their field but no prior experience with our system, only then we are able to deliver, effectively, a process that can help.
