"What makes our collaboration with Proactis particularly successful is that we, as a user, can be involved proactively in the continuous development of the software platform. This makes Proactis the future-proof choice for us."

"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."

"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 …

"We had a long-standing vision to develop end-to-end procurement processes and workflow to manage all spending across the Council. Proactis provides complete visibility and control of spend and, twinned with Proactis’ collaborative procurement portal, will help support our procurement programme for years to come."

"The Proactis suite offers a great deal of autonomy to the administrator, which is not necessarily the case in all marketplaces."

“By setting up a structured process, we got a grip on our direct spend, suppliers and the indirect costs of the purchasing and ordering process.”

"We have actually grown together with Proactis over the years into a more professional ordering and invoicing process. Nevertheless, optimization and assurance of the purchase to pay process requires continuous attention. You have to stay on top of it."

“For me, efficient operations are the ability to measure what’s been spent against what was expected and what’s been ordered. To be able to track invoices, to identify how long it takes to pay invoices and why some take longer than others, gives us a great idea of what can …

"We now have one system in which contracts, orders, associated suppliers and invoices can be found, complete with who has authorized each part of the process. Everything is visible and, with that, we have the control of purchases, up to and including payment."

“Better visibility and control over our expenditure has made our organization more cost-aware.”

“With the new working method, supported by the Proactis platform, procurement makes an essential contribution to the broader objectives that we have as an organization.”

“Proactis has helped us in two ways. Firstly, by automating processes, as it would still be a manual transaction without the eCatalogue function. Secondly, the solution allows a certain degree of standardisation to be achieved. This is one of the most important things and provides enormous benefits.”

“With Proactis, and the implementation of an important messaging standard, we are finalizing one of our company targets, to improve cooperation with our chain partners in order to achieve mutual efficiency advantages.”

“There is growing interest among construction companies to implement these messaging standards.”

“The Proactis solutions have been hugely helpful during the situation. We moved off site very quickly but we were able to do this with confidence that none of our processes would suffer as a result. Supplier and contract management, eProcurement and now all invoicing processes are digital.“
