AND MORE….

Typical issues:• Too many processes and access points when ordering materials and

services

• Large effort for internal resources to create and maintain catalogs

• Inability to take advantage of contracted savings due to lack of visibility

- Low user adoption of contract-based requests

- Limited spend under management based on maverick buying

- Punch-out catalogs provide different user interfaces and less control

on changes, e.g. prices

Remove barriers to supplier enablement

Analysis: looking at your current situation, suppliers

and objectives to establish the plan and the supplier-

enablement guarantee

Enablement: bringing suppliers on board through

self-service or via Hubwoo’s managed on-boarding service

Management: ongoing enablement and monitoring of

supplier connectivity

Affordability: low membership/transaction fee to

suppliers leads to an expedited onboarding process and

means even smaller suppliers are enabled
