  • An intuitive online shopping portal that features only approved suppliers and negotiated contracts, cutting down on rogue spending and boosting visibility
  • Guided buying to drive spend where you want it with your strategic suppliers
  • Automation of campus business processes for flexible, seamless approval routing to create fewer requisition and purchase order errors
  • Integration that ensures compliance, minimizes risk and improves overall efficiency of the purchasing process, while seamlessly exchanging data with the Ellucian ERP
