Slingshot announces a new “self service” requisition entry process for its eRequest product. Its familiar interface allows users to quickly and conveniently request material or services with no training.
Slingshot’s order management applications (Purchasing, Requisitioning and CRM) now allow any document (e.g. Purchase Order, Quotation or Acknowledgement) to be “versioned”.
In many procurement environments a high volume of routine small dollar approvals creates a bottleneck. The requests are stuck until the approver realizes a procurement requires review and takes the steps necessary to grant approval. Time spent on these routine approvals is time taken away from larger procurements which require careful scrutiny.
Requisition lines can now be filled with a “Bid Solicitation”. Bid solicitations include a list of required goods or services and are associated with a list of suppliers. Click the “Send RFQ” button and a “Request for Quotation” order is created and eMailed to each supplier. When responses are received prices and terms are recorded on the supplier’s “Request for Quotation” order.
Approve documents “on the go” with Slingshot’s Mobile Approvals application. This tool will reduce your approval backlog by making approval tasks visible and reducing the effort to review and take action.
