ChristopherOrilogbon - PeerSpot reviewer
A highly stable solution that enables users to manage their suppliers seamlessly
The product is scalable. My client’s company currently has about 7 to 10 people using the solution. These are the internal users. Some external suppliers also use the portal to view contracts and invoices. If there is a need to expand the procurement team, we will increase the usage of the solution. We train the technical team to maintain the solution. We also need to ensure that we have a log where we can check our integrations to ensure there’s no failure.
