If you spend more than about $1 million a year on energy, your potential savings are big enough to make this worth your time.

If you operate more than about 20 stores, your energy-management challenges are complex enough that you’ll welcome these ideas, specifically aimed at multisite retailers.

Verisae’s Procurement Manager product is designed to streamline the buying process. Imagine one system that allowed for teams from the real estate, design, engineering, store planning and procurement to talk. Cost overruns are eliminated and accountability for changes is firmly established.

Electronic, paperless transactions ensure an organization has a complete project history for equipment transactions and purchasing records. An organization will have access to all changes and schedule impacts do to approve change orders. Sharing information is easy with everyone using the same centralized communications and planning tool. Using Verisae’s procurement product efficient asset procurement can be the new reality.

Unlike other procurement software where the focus is primarily on reducing the purchase price of an asset, Procurement Manager provides many more benefits such as:

Eco-Sourcing of Low Carbon Assets Before You Own Them

  • Understand how to optimize energy consumption prior to buying
  • Optimize store equipment energy effective
  • Prioritize first costs or long term savings
  • Select quickest payback assets from your equipment library
  • Compare projects based on energy performance before construction

Calculate Total Impact Assessment of Assets

  • Reduce spend through automated workflow & invoicing
  • Accuracy of budgeting and procurement processing
  • Visibility across the supply chain for assets before procurement
  • Enhanced project management abilities during facility construction
  • Robust budgeting tool and ability to compare facility budgets

  • Gain answers to; Why is this project over budget? Who approved the changes?

Tracking the Procurement Process Across the Distributed Enterprise

  • Reducing errors and omissions on drawings and cost estimates
  • Lowering expenses and purchasing costs of equipment
  • Eliminating data duplication with better integration capability
  • Minimizing corporate risk without interrupting current workflow
  • Creating paperless workflow for internal & external providers
  • Enabling Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliant corporate procurement

A Traceable Enterprise Throughout the Supply Chain

While governments may be very powerful initiators, larger organizations within the private sector can also bring their own level of pressure to bear to encourage the adoption of sustainable procurement policy by others. For example, Walmart, the world's largest retailer, is in the process of adopting sustainable procurement policy which, in turn, insists that all its suppliers do the same. In this way the spotlight will focus on the need and considerable publicity and media exposure will help to drive its adoption all the way down the line.
