Purchasing
Order from the right supplier, within the agreed limit.
In most companies there isn’t one buyer. There are ten people who each order a bit, from ten different online shops. ClickCheck makes sure your purchasing agreements go with them.

Sound familiar?
The framework contract exists, but nobody thinks of it.
There’s a preferred supplier for office supplies with an agreed discount. There’s a limit above which the director signs off. And still an order lands with whichever online shop happened to top the search results.
It’s rarely deliberate. The engineer who needs parts quickly, the office manager ordering between two phone calls: they don’t always know what was agreed, or it doesn’t cross their mind at that moment.

Checklist
No procurement suite
Purchasing discipline without rolling out a new system.
A full procurement suite with purchase requests and budgets is often too heavy for a forty-person company. People keep ordering in the online shop anyway.
ClickCheck leaves that as it is. You only add the agreements where they count. Anyone ordering within the agreements won’t notice a thing.
Make a mistake once. Not twice.
