SOURCE TO PAY

The Intenda Solution Suite (ISS) is an end-to-end, fully integrated software solution, which can interface into existing ERP systems or other software investments that a client may have in the enterprise.

Dependant on the client configuration, the ISS suite comprises a set of modules of which most can operate in a stand-alone mode or as a collective solution. Developed on the latest state of the art technology, this solution addresses a client’s inbound Spend Management needs. This has been proven repeatedly by our global client base. Each module is unique in its offering:

Supplier Self Service

The Intenda Solution Suite enables self-registration and self-maintenance of supplier data in a secure environment.

It thus comprises a true business-to-business facilitation portal, specifically designed for the global Spend Management market. Its main aim is to bring buyer and supplier communities together, via a single system, providing authentication, secure access and encrypted electronic data capture. The solution / service has been developed to cater for all electronic options of access and interaction with electronic Supplier Registration, Questionnaires, Supplier Bids & Quotations and Supplier Contract Management functions (Amendments online) and Supply Purchase Order Management. This is done without compromising the standard non-electronic communication mediums (paper, fax, delivery etc.).

Supplier Management

The Supplier Management solution consists of a combination of activities and the total solution deployed depends on the customer specific process requirements and configuration.

The Supplier Management functions include Online / Offline Questionnaires, a Supplier Self Service ability (Registration & Updates), and Supplier Database Detail Maintenance features. Triggers can be set for automated reminders for alerts to strategic objectives, such as Tax Clearance Certificate expiry etc.

Quotations

The Intenda Solution Suite’s Quotation Module.

The Intenda Solution Suite’s Quotation Module automates the complete process from the end user request through procurement’s request for Quotations and the evaluation process and is used for the typical 3 quote or daily procurement function, where non-complex bidding is involved.

Request for Sourcing

The Request for Sourcing capability addresses the process of end users electronically capturing requests, in a structured manner.

Thereafter these requests are available to the sourcing / procurement function, where the request merely gets switched into a Quotation or Tender / Bid for completion of the process.

RFx

The Intenda Solution Suite’s RFx Module automates the complete process from end user requisitions, through the build, issue and evaluate process, ending with a formal approved contract or pro-forma Purchase Order.

The capability to create any type of request exists, be it a request for a quotation, bid, tender, service et al. Dependent on the type, the necessary business process and logic is followed for the desirable result.

Contract Management

The Contract Management Module addresses the automation and management of the Contract Lifecycle Management, including compliance right down to a line item level.

This includes salient contract management elements such as:

Indices
Rates of Exchange
Terms & Conditions
Cost Breakdowns
Reminders and proactive notifications
Centralization of all source documents

Purchase Management

The Purchase Management Module facilitates end users in the enterprise to create electronic baskets from existing Contracts or awarded Quotations, enabling the complete buy side transaction of the selected goods or services.

Once again, automation facilitates the final reach, after approval, to the Supplier electronically, with a full supplier order management function available. On delivery, the GRN process can be completed by the end user, invoice matched, and then the transaction can be released and interfaced to the payment process of the customer. eAuctions The Intenda e-Auction Module is proven and effective and has been used successfully over many years in the UK market.
