| The new e-commerce service is entirely focused
on the telecoms market and enables business managers in Greenwoods'
Telco customers to consolidate their consumables purchasing. This
means major time saving in managing product suppliers and vastly
improves visibility of real-time expenditure. The service
is completely personalised with each customer recognised as soon
as they log on to the system. Customer contract products, recent
purchases and pricing structure for each individual account can
then be accessed immediately.
More importantly, users can allocate different access levels to
different employees within their organisation to ensure that spend
is controlled and only authorised buyers can make purchases. Greenwoods'
system offers visibility at all times and can generate reports so
that purchasing managers can both keep track of spend and become
more accountable. Building up product lists via the e-catalogue
is more efficient than typing out faxes and emails or placing orders
over the phone. Users can also quickly update contact and delivery
details and manage the entire consumables process as a centralised
function.
"The new service will speed up the purchasing process for our customers,
whilst introducing increased control and visibility of consumables
expenditure," said Steven Foster, marketing manager at Greenwoods
Communications. "What is often regarded as a low value order
when multiplied across all the users in the business transpires
into high cost. This new system enables our customers to centrally
manage consumable purchases and provides real-time cost information
which will be of benefit to any manager."
