The Future of Planning

Procurement Planning Solution

Enabling Accurate and Efficient Procurement through Integrated Workflows

The SDG Procurement Planning Framework

Our solution accelerates project adoption, leveraging 8 years of experience in structured procurement planning. It shortens the analysis phase and overall project timeline by leveraging a consolidated, easily customisable data and process model. The process is broken into self-contained steps, using interactive mock-ups to show how users engage with the system.

This approach helps plan purchase needs more accurately and in advance, generating a consistent procurement plan. It also promotes active collaboration between Procurement and Finance, using the budget and business plan as guiding tools for planning.
