"Since we started working with Iasta, we've had positive feedback from the buyer team. We've even had positive feedback from suppliers. Glanbia is a relatively new user and we're already benefitting. We're saving time and money."
EPM - Enterprise Performance Management through SRM Best Practices
Iasta has the know-how to improve business performance across the sourcing team through better business processes and technology platforms. For each engagement, whatever its scale, we mobilize selected resources from our network. And while our culture of thought leadership encourages us to explore new concepts and solutions, our strategic focus never varies: delivering the best sourcing products and services for your team.
SmartSource SRM - This powerful sourcing platform enables companies to communicate with buyers, suppliers and other stakeholders through built-in, integrated components. All components are accessible through a single sign-on. SmartSource SRM is unique because it combines the best of eSourcing technology into one product. Companies should consider SmartSource SRM when they want to source products and services using RFx, survey or auction functionality; quickly optimize and analyze different award scenarios; track, follow and manage sourcing contracts; and manage supplier relationships and information more effectively.
SmartAnalytics - Iasta's spend analysis and visibility solution is designed to provide users with instant, comprehensive and detailed access to the entire organization's purchasing data. Users can view, analyze and report on their corporate spend more easily. This means that companies can look deeper into their spend to uncover sourcing opportunities, monitor compliance, identify trends and track diversity or "green" programs.
SmartSupplier - SmartSupplier serves as the cornerstone of any effective supplier management strategy by helping companies to connect, coordinate, check, control and cultivate relationships with their vendors. SmartSupplier facilitates supplier diversity, risk or performance initiatives by capturing, classifying and reporting key data elements associated with vendors. Better, more complete supplier data leads to better decisions and improved compliance.
SmartOptimization - Tightly integrated with Iasta's sourcing applications, SmartOptimization lets users go directly from bid collection to award analysis without exporting data to separate spreadsheets. This powerful award analysis engine helps users quickly and accurately build 'what-if' award reports that accelerate the decision making process. Customers who use the award analysis engine find an additional 5% to 10% savings on top of negotiated savings. For additional flexibility, SmartOptimization can also stand alone and accept imported bid data from other applications. Within SmartOptimization, users can make immediate adjustments to award scenarios and view results instantly - rather than building and navigating through cumbersome spreadsheets. Faster, more accurate award analysis leads to greater savings.
SmartContracts - SmartContracts provides a centralized, built-in contract tracking engine with triggers, alerts and version access control. SmartContracts can stand alone or integrate with other Iasta platforms. Due to its integrated code base, it provides the benefits of speed, convenience and a single sign-on to users. Contract Management, a subset of SmartContracts, is an embedded component within SmartSource SRM, and makes it easy for buyers to find, use and track the right contract for the right sourcing project.
