Managed procurement services

Capgemini Procurement Services has developed a set of managed services that support and kick-start corporate eProcurement initiatives and enable the purchasing function to focus on the core issues.

Capgemini Procurement Services provides managed services that ease the burdens of purchasing transformation, eProcurement roll-out, user training and supplier development. With expertise and best practice processes we can ensure sustainable year-to-year savings in areas that were previously overlooked or inefficiently managed.

IBX Content Services

In the direct material purchasing, procurement content is not an issue - all specifications are in place and all you need to do is make sure that you receive the right part. For indirect materials and services, on the other hand, content quality is of the essence. Without high quality content end-users have a hard time finding the products or services they require, resulting in inappropriate buying behaviour such as buying off contract or even bypassing the eProcurement solution and buying from frame agreement suppliers at non-negotiated prices.

IBX Content Services ensures high quality content for your eProcurement initiative. Content Scorecards make it easy to identify and track content that does not measure up to standards.

IBX Content Services also maps sourcing trees to UNSPSC standard, enabling you to generate statistics that are usable and informative, while upholding the company specific needs that generated the specific sourcing tree.

High quality content is an IBX trademark and determines whether a casual user is really able to find what he or she is looking for. With IBX Content Services we enhance the information quality and amend additional information such as extended search attributes and synonym references, pictures, links and attachments to ensure that users find the goods or services they need.

IBX Supplier Activation

Long overlooked by purchasing departments, supplier enablement and supplier activation have been something that was managed if and when the need arose. Enablement and activation programs were scarce at best and the responsibility for supplier enablement and activation was added to the long list of duties of the purchasing professionals.

There are cases where dedicated supplier enablement teams have been set up to ramp up the usage of the procurement initiatives, but more often then not, these teams dissolve when more urgent matters arise.

To reduce the costs and workload associated with supplier enablement and supplier activation, Capgemini Procurement Services has developed IBX Supplier Enablement, a service dedicated to supplier activation and enablement.

With the IBX Supplier Network, Capgemini Procurement Services provides an efficient way to manage all your suppliers globally for sourcing, procurement and payment. In addition to the supplier network, we have core teams set up to help you set up a complete change program and activate your supplier base to enable them for online purchasing.

IBX Supplier Network is one of the largest independent supplier networks providing you with instant access to thousands of suppliers.
