In order to be more broadly adopted, sourcing tools need easier to use functionality for constructing requests, evaluating bids, and archiving the results of events in a searchable fashion. The inclusion of strategic sourcing plan development within a sourcing application has the potential to enable purchasing organizations to more cleanly execute to plan.

Strategic Sourcing
Any reason why I should switch to Zycus-

In case you are facing the following challenges you should consider Zycus strategic sourcing solution

  • Low user adoption– You have invested heavily in your esourcing software. However, very soon you witness a reverse migration towards the traditional means of sourcing - Spreadsheets are back in vogue, RFx begun to be created on Microsoft documents, numerous emails are exchanged, complex excel based analysis back into practice. As a result, your to-be revolutionary software is reduced to a mere shelfware and your eSourcing ROI starts plummeting. And the main reason- Complexity and lack of user friendliness of the incumbent software as compared to the traditional means of sourcing.

    Zycus solution– Leveraging the latest Web 2.0 technologies such as drag and drop, interactive graph driven analysis, easy scenario creation and intuitive interface Zycus strategic sourcing solution offers a compelling alternative to traditional means of sourcing. Buyers and category managers can get started with “ZERO” or minimal training.

  • Limited usage of eSourcing software- In case your esourcing software usage is limited only to eAuctions and the software is bypassed for the RFx process just because it is difficult to create and evaluate within the tool your eSourcing ROI realization is just a fraction of the potential. Such is a case for a majority of sourcing organizations where eAuction is the be-all-and-end-all of eSourcing, thus restricting the ROI from eSourcing tool.

    Zycus solution– Zycus solution gives the users the power to execute their end-to-end esourcing activities from planning of sourcing strategies, to creating eRFX, evaluating scoring and ranking supplier responses and stage eAuctions with extreme ease.

  • Lack of ability to plan- Struggling with ad-hoc planning process? Are you still stuck at - Manual category profiling, spreadsheets based demand aggregation, lack of collaboration, inability to calculate TCO? If your answer is yes then you are certainly far away from “STRATEGIC” sourcing.

    Zycus solution– Zycus offers a path breaking planning module that embeds a 7 step process helping sourcing professionals create sourcing plans, develop sourcing strategies and deploy as well. With analysis tools like Total Cost Modeling, Demand Aggregation, Spec Standardization users can profile category, understand demand and understand the supplier market as well.
