  Create a centralized set of catalogs for standardized direct purchases, to control costs and secure negotiated prices.

  Optimize the supply chain with automated EDI integrations for reliable exchanges with suppliers.

  Simplify invoice processing through automatic matching with purchase orders and deliveries.
