Procurement managers are always looking for ways to improve the process they use and measure the results they achieve.

However, challenges exist because often the information changes, or isn’t easily available.

BIZview is a tool which demystifies the volume and content of information, enabling quality procurement to take place.

Information from stakeholders such as Finance, Operations and Users is loaded electronically and ‘normalised’ into a report that is easily understood.

BIZview can help by providing a toolset that:

• Audit’s inventory

• Links disparate components as a Service

• Identifies consumption

• Provides clear and accurate information (technical and financial) to go to market

• Assists TCO calculation to support a Business Case

• Checks for benefit realisation

• Assists forecasting of cash flow

• Conducts ‘what if’ scenario’s (price, quantity, service type)

• Tracks Actuals to Budget

• Assists re-charging cost centres

• Provides trending information

“The business intelligence is there,” says Chris O’Kane, Business Manager, Pentech.
