OVERVIEW
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]OPTIMAL PROCUREMENT applications enable users to determine the purchase quantities to minimize total cost considering multiple vendors, quantity discount schedules, and delivery factors. Typical savings are 5-10% or more of the total value of the purchases.
An implementation of OPTIMAL PROCUREMENT applications is the identification of orders necessary to meet purchasing requirements from a mix of suppliers for products where each supplier has different but overlapping products available and different costs for the products.
