Organizations typically manage three different types of spend – capital spend, recurring spend and operational spend. SoftCo eProcurement software streamlines each of these spend categories.
Vendor catalogs and shopping lists are maintained, and the powerful vendor punch-out functionality allows the selection of products directly from your vendors’ website and population directly back into your SoftCo shopping cart. Requisition templates create re-usable shopping lists for continuous use.
SoftCo’s eProcurement solution’s pre-approved spend functionality allows seamless drawdown on pre-approved or capital budgets for projects with agreed preferred vendors. For recurring spend such as subscriptions, leasing, rent and utilities, SoftCo eProcurement software provides a contract PO to all vendors referencing the agreed installment or payment plan as per the agreed contract/subscription.
The dynamic matching engine handles 2-way and 3-way matching to match your invoice data to your purchase orders and goods receipt notes. SoftCo Smart Match applies AI technology to even the most complicated matching scenarios, such as incomplete data, missing product codes, rounding issues and FX conversions, further improving straight through processing rates. SoftCo Accounts Payable Automation assigns your non-PO invoices to an automatic general ledger and cost center through posting templates that are associated with your vendors.
For your recurring invoices, such as subscriptions, leasing, rent and utilities, SoftCo Accounts Payable Automation automatically matches them to your underlying contract PO, and routes them for appropriate approval, without the need for supporting POs or GRNs.
SoftCo Vendor Management solution enhances relations with your key vendors with full online visibility of all orders and invoices and ensures queries and disputes are addressed immediately.
Vendors register on the SoftCo Vendor Management Portal, self-completing the on-boarding process by adding company and financial information and all supporting documentation, including payment and VAT/TAX data. The automated onboarding guarantees adherence to AML compliance and removes the need to chase vendors for vital information. Registered vendors add their own order and invoice transmission preferences and the SoftCo Vendor Management Portal enables paper-based vendors to submit invoices.
SoftCo Vendor Management enables preferred vendors to submit all invoices directly from the Portal as they receive purchase orders. ‘PO Flip’ converts received orders into a corresponding invoice that is returned to you immediately. Vendors are notified instantly when you submit a purchase order and track the progress of invoices submitted. There is no need to chase payments and administration is eliminated.
SoftCo Contract Compliance provides a SÄHKE2 certified central contract repository where all agreed contracts with your vendors are compliantly stored and managed and are instantaneously available for retrieval based on user permissions. All contracts are stored as password-protected PDFs, preventing unauthorized printing and saving of your contracts.
SoftCo Contract Compliance provides full contract lifecycle management and proactively sets reminders for your expiring contracts or those due for renewal. The solution works seamlessly with the SoftCo Procure to Pay software modules to configure installment plans ensuring you only receive accurate invoices from your vendors, as per your agreed contracts. SoftCo Contract Compliance presents comprehensive compliance reporting including reporting on exceptions, status, renewals, and any overcharges.
