With more than 6+ subsidiaries procuring rates at the same time, it was too difficult a process to manage everything via email and phone calls. They were looking for a platform that could bring all their existing procurement processes under one roof. They have been using Gocomet to address the following issues. Single Platform/Dashboard: Spot procurement for different groups of companies were done manually and so they were in need of a single dashboard to track it all. Cross-division approval: Interaction and Interoperability within teams was limited with respect to the Approval process. Multi-level hierarchy-based approval systems were a requirement. Transparency in Auditing: Manual checks were only possible resulting in a lot of irregularities. Choosing the best quotes: Comparing the price and service level quotations from vendors was a very demanding challenge. Digitalization for better efficiency: Current physical processes were tiring and time-consuming. A shift towards automation was mandatory.
