Introducing a self-service procurement web app which streamlines procure-to-pay processes for indirect spend and office consumables. Absoft developed a premium web app which assists a local authority to raise and approve purchase requisitions more effectively. Deployed on desktop or mobile devices, the custom solution uses an intuitive SAP UI5 interface and guided workflows to simplify procurement, approvals and goods receipt processes.

Absoft’s demonstration will show how the self-service procurement solution can:

• Control workflows and custom approvals to minimise the potential for fraud
• Increase compliance with procurement procedures
• Replace SAP SRM for overhead procurement at a significantly lower TCO
• Ability to punch out to online catalogues
• Enhance the user experience (UX) which improves data quality
• Operate on desktop, mobile and tablet devices
• Reduce training cost and support effort
• Decrease end-user training time
