Procurement

S2K Enterprise provides one of the most advanced purchasing software programs available today. This dynamic application provides tools that minimize the burdensome tasks associated with manual purchasing by automating your demand planning, purchasing, and ordering process. VAI’s purchasing software gives you the opportunity to optimize your buying power across different product lines and multiple warehouses.

Powerful formulas analyze historical and forecasted usage for each item, seasonal trends, market demand, and vendor lead times to provide suggested purchase orders for each vendor. Erratic demand is flagged and can be exponentially smoothed into demand formulas. With our purchasing software, items can be grouped into buy-lines for purchase analysis by product group to take advantage of special pricing and discounts. Buy-line inquiries allow users to compare purchasing requirements with vendor targets. Estimated carrying costs are displayed for items that are necessary to meet the vendor target.

• Automated Purchase Suggestions: Analytics driven recommendations ensure optimal stock levels and purchasing efficiency.
• Target & Forward Buying: Take advantage of vendor discounts, bulk pricing, and strategic order timing.
• Recommended Location Transfers: Reduce excess stock across multiple locations, and minimize carrying costs while preventing shortages.
• Budget-Conscious Order Controls: Set purchasing limits that align with financial goals and warehouse capacity.

S2K Purchasing application simplifies communication between departments and suppliers, speeding up the procurement cycle by automating the creation, approval, and tracking of purchase orders (POs), reducing manual effort and errors. This dynamic application improves visibility into the status of POs, from creation to fulfillment, allowing for real-time tracking and updates. In addition, for companies that import products, knowing your landed cost is important for businesses because it can have a major effect on your pricing strategy, commissions, and ultimately your profitability. Using S2K Cargo tracking you can better understand the real total cost of acquiring products and value your inventory more accurately. Landed cost includes not only shipping costs, but any additional fees such as import duties, shipping insurance, and other related costs.
