"We were upgrading our Unit4 Business World ERP system and centralising our AP function with the aim of automating our Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) process, which was drawn out and dominated by paper and inefficient manual methods. The PROACTIS solution integrated well with our Unit 4 Business World system to deliver efficiency savings of over 40%."
"Before PROACTIS, operations in each country had their own approach to selecting suppliers, approving purchases, and authorising payments. And we had no real visibility at the corporate level. Now, with PROACTIS in place, it’s a whole different story – we have consistent compliance with corporate policies around the world, visibility of all global activity, and a growing repository of purchase history that we are using to take a more global approach to procurement."
"Proactis not only makes life easier for our end users as they can easily find an item, click and order, but having everything in one place has also saved time, provided insights into our purchasing activity, helped us manage our supply chain better and helped make sure suppliers are paid on time."
"We wanted to achieve much faster visibility of our cost pipeline than our previous paper-based systems would allow, and we saw PROACTIS as a way of streamlining those systems, as well as making the key information available sooner."
"Using the standard activity sets we’ve jointly developed in the PROACTIS system, we can all be confident each tendering event is performed in a consistent and proper manner."
"As a union we are always looking at more efficient and effective ways of working, specifically the swift payment for our suppliers, and the PROACTIS solution has enabled us to address this."
"The system is accessible, the possibility to configure the system in so many ways is absolutely brilliant."
"We have seen improved category management with faster ordering times and savings from lower prices. Staff can now get what they want, when they want, at the best prices."
"The more we meet other Universities, the more we realise how ahead we are. Our aim is to have a seamless P2P journey and Proactis will help us deliver this."
"Proactis really understands our business. Due to the nature of our sector, invoicing is not always straightforward. Often our requirements are non-typical, such as our self-billing process, but Proactis worked with us to come up with an ideal solution."
“We now have the Accounting office using a more streamlined process while also reducing the number of suppliers under management.”
"Proactis is a customer-centric organisation, with a real appetite to optimise our Procurement and Finance processes, also displaying an understanding of the dynamic needs of our sector and of our Unit4 ERP solution via the partnership in place."
"We have been working in partnership with Proactis for several years, configuring the robust sourcing solution to meet our demands and provide efficiency and accuracy within a contained and controlled environment. It continues to be an important and essential tool with which we deliver high quality, effective and efficient procurement support to our Trust."
"Our main driver was to implement a marketplace that integrated with our Unit4 Business World ERP system and enabled us to distribute purchase orders electronically. Proactis was the best fit for our supplier profile, as it gave complete flexibility depending on each supplier’s eCommerce readiness."
“A new technology – no matter how great the potential – is only effective if people actually use it. When you hear feedback like, “Hey, this is pretty easy!” and “Really, that’s it?”, you know you’ve overcome a major hurdle to successful implementation and ongoing adoption.”
