Digitize your entire sourcing process with SEMS E-Sourcing. From preparing an RFI, RFQ, RFP or tender through evaluation, negotiation and award, SEMS centralizes every step on a single platform.
Put your suppliers into greater competition, compare offers objectively, speed up your consultations and identify new savings opportunities.
Create all your sourcing events from SEMS. Structure your consultations with your own templates, lots, items, services, questionnaires, evaluation criteria and documents. Then invite the relevant suppliers and manage the entire process from a single interface.
Give every supplier a secure space to take part in your consultations. Suppliers can view files, download documents, ask questions, complete questionnaires and submit their offers directly online. You cut down on email exchanges while improving the supplier experience.
Stop choosing an offer on price alone. Define your administrative, technical, financial, CSR, quality or risk criteria, then assign weightings tailored to each consultation. SEMS consolidates the evaluations and makes it easy to compare suppliers objectively.
Involve the right people at the right time. Set up technical and financial committees, assign evaluators and precisely control the information each participant can access. Evaluations are centralized to produce a collective, structured and traceable decision.
Compare supplier proposals in a single consolidated view. Prices, quantities, lead times, commercial terms, technical scores and qualitative criteria can all be analyzed side by side. Instantly spot gaps, the best proposals and negotiation levers.
Compare the real cost, not just the price. The supplier with the lowest price is not necessarily the most competitive. SEMS lets you apply a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) approach to assess the overall cost of a proposal. Purchase price, transport, installation, maintenance, operating costs, warranties and other costs can be included in your analysis, giving you a fairer economic view before you decide.
Supplier consultations still too often rely on emails, spreadsheets, scattered documents and manual approvals, which lengthens timelines and makes comparing offers harder. A single platform lets Procurement teams prepare, run, compare, negotiate, decide on and measure the results of their consultations.
All consultations, offers and communications in one place.
Invitations, deadlines, workflows, evaluations and approvals.
Technical, financial and commercial proposals on a consistent basis.
Run multiple rounds and reverse auctions to improve the terms you obtain.
Base your awards on reliable data and objective criteria.
Track the savings and performance of your sourcing operations.
A supplier's first offer is not always the best one possible. SEMS gives you the tools to structure your negotiations and improve the terms you obtain.
Go back to all or some of your suppliers to obtain new proposals. Compare each new offer against the previous one and automatically keep a history of the different negotiation rounds.
Create dynamic e-auctions where suppliers can improve their proposals in real time. Boost competition and make the most of your negotiation potential.
Centralize requests for clarification and their responses without multiplying email exchanges. Every interaction stays linked to the relevant consultation.
Getting a better offer matters. Being able to demonstrate the value created by Procurement matters even more. SEMS lets you measure the savings achieved during the sourcing process by comparing the newly negotiated terms against your reference points.
Compare against the price previously paid.
Measure the gap with your last purchase price.
Compare the new terms against the contractual rate.
Measure the change since your previous sourcing round.
Analyze performance against the defined target.
Procurement leadership thus gets a consolidated view of the value actually generated by their sourcing operations.
Sourcing isn't just the buyer's job. SEMS lets Procurement, business units, technical experts, Finance, Management and suppliers collaborate in a shared environment while keeping clearly defined rights and responsibilities. Everyone steps in only when needed and only on the information they are authorized to access.
As the financial stakes increase, governance becomes essential. SEMS lets you set up multi-level approval workflows tailored to your organization.
Approval paths can vary according to the amount, purchasing category, entity, project or type of consultation.
This lets you identify the categories with the greatest optimization potential.
SEMS E-Sourcing can be used standalone or integrated into your existing environment.
