SmartStream Procurement

Avoid costly procurement expenses.

Purchasing

When your purchasing processes are slow and cumbersome, your business simultaneously slows production and increases risk. Purchasers are more likely to bypass procedures to save time. Your fast-paced business needs to be able to purchase supplies and materials quickly and efficiently to serve customers, but the process also needs to be thorough and able to help you control costs.

Infor FMS SmartStream Purchasing helps your purchasing department play a more strategic role in leveraging volume and reducing your supplier base for your full range of purchases. Your purchasing department no longer needs to execute every transaction—internal requesters can obtain better service with automated order processing for everyday, low-cost items. You can free your purchasing department to focus on using its expertise to obtain the best prices and achieve
top performance.
