What if you could gain better visibility and control of your institution’s spending?
With a single, shared procurement system that is fully integrated with your accounts, you can gain much better visibility and control of your institution’s spending and commitments. This is especially important for universities and colleges, where there is often a mixture of central and devolved purchasing and a need for swifter, automated approval routing and real-time monitoring of planned, committed and incurred project costs.
Unit4 Business World for Education includes a fully integrated, end-to-end solution that supports, automates and standardizes all stages of the purchasing and procurement cycle.
The solution gives your procurement team better central visibility and analysis of spending patterns, so they can aggregate spending via preferred or strategic suppliers, reduce maverick spending and negotiate better terms and prices.
Employees are given a single, easy-to-use procurement screen and the system automatically identifies and applies the correct buying process specified for a particular employee or role. Users can also be allowed to “punchout” to suppliers’ marketplace portals or websites, and purchase requests are quickly and automatically routed by the solution’s Workflow tools for more efficient checking and approval.
