The answer is through guided buying.
What is guided buying?
Guided buying is one of the easiest ways to direct users to the right policies and preferred vendors. Most guided buying experiences are done through internal catalogues which include contract priced items.
What are the benefits of guided buying?
Implementing guided buying benefits both users and procurement functions.
Guided buying benefits for procurement
Guided buying steers users to the right products and services and route requests to appropriate buying channels all while ensuring the compliance of procurement policies.
