A Game-Changer for Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management
Current SCM can relate to the supply chain challenges faced by EPC and EPCM organizations, because it was developed by a respected EPCM firm after a fruitless 18-month search to find supply chain software that could truly meet their unique needs. Current SCM offers a project-centric approach to procurement, allows for multiple paying organizations, and is loaded with tools to support the purchasing of technical materials. And with both Materials Management and Vendor Document Requirements (VDR) uniquely integrated into the Order, Current SCM is an absolute game-changer for Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management.
Unrivaled Project-Centric Flexibility
Every project is unique. Current SCM excels in accommodating diverse project procurement requirements with unrivalled project-centric customization options, including project-specific milestones, cost structures, tax structures, currencies, payment terms, contract terms, document numbering rules, approved vendors, IncoTerms, business rules, workflows, release order terms, reports, and much more.
Manage Procurement for Multiple Clients Within a Single System
Third party procurement requires flexibility, which is precisely what Current SCM provides. It starts with the flexibility to manage procurement for multiple clients within a single system, each client with their own exclusive access and data segregation. It includes workflow support to progress orders through client approval stages. And it includes the flexibility to adapt to the unique needs of each client’s business.
Key Features for Engineering
Unrivalled Project-Centric Customization & Control
Every project is unique. To accommodate the unique requirements of each project, Current SCM offers unrivaled Project-specific customizations, such as project-specific teams, cost structures, payment terms, contract terms, milestone dates, locations (e.g., bill to, destination, store at, fabricate at), approved vendors, business rules, workflows, chain of orderables, identifiers, IncoTerms, reports, and much, much more!
Manage Multiple Paying Organizations
If your organization purchases or acts as an agent on behalf of other organizations, this is a game changer. Current SCM was designed to include multiple paying organizations.
- Each organization can have its own segregated team, cost structure, payment terms, contract templates, document numbering rules, business rules, workflows, catalog(s), approved vendors, inventory, reports and more, all within a single instance.
- Orders can be issued with your clients’ information and logo, or you can toggle and issue with your organization’s information and logo.
- If there is more than one paying organization, Orders can be issued from the joint venture to split the cost.
Control User Access & Permissions at the Team & Project Levels
Users must be added to Teams. Each User can be added to multiple Teams. Each User can be assigned one or multiple Roles, including different Roles and permissions per Team. Each User can also be assigned one or multiple custom permissions at the Team level (Current SCM offers approximately 50 custom permissions to choose from for Team level Roles).
Team members must be added to specific Projects to access information related to those Projects. Each Team member can be added to multiple Projects. Each Team member can be assigned one or multiple Roles per Project, including different Roles and permissions per Project. Each Team member can also be assigned one or multiple custom permissions per Project (Current SCM offers approximately 220 custom permissions to choose from for Project level Roles).
Guide the Purchasing of Technical Items with Centralized Catalog Management
When purchasing highly technical goods and services, it is in an organization’s best interest to put guidelines or controls in place. Current SCM’s highly flexible Catalog Management toolset provides several options to help guide or control your purchasing.
- An example to help guide purchasing would be to create a structured catalog complete with well-defined descriptions, precise measurements & attributes, and detailed metadata to provide Buyers with the information they need to make the right purchase.
- An example to help control purchasing would be to create a business rule to limit purchasing only to Catalog Items that have been approved for use.
Integrated Vendor Document Requirements & Expediting
With Vendor Document Requirements integrated into the Order, Current SCM streamlines the creation, standardization, communication, submission tracking, and expediting of vendor documents.
- Vendor Document Requirements: Define specific vendor document requirements, including the document type, authentication requirements, submission format, and dynamic due date (e.g., document required ten days before shipment). Define vendor document requirements at the Order or Order item level.
- Order Document Export: Current SCM generates a complete Order document export, including paying organization branded Order, commercial terms, BOM (Bill of Materials), contractual terms, specs and standards, and vendor document requirements.
Integrated Materials Management & Expediting
With Materials Management integrated into the Order, Current SCM provides a seamless platform to purchase and manage your materials. Current SCM provides complete and flexible workflow support to efficiently manage material through planning, purchasing, allocating, tracking, expediting, release planning, inspecting, and receiving.
Whether your fulfillment strategy is to procure, draw from existing inventory, or a mixture of both, Current SCM can help. Leverage real-time inventory reporting by project, business, or location to ensure you are optimizing inventory and purchasing only what you require. And when procurement is required, leverage powerful line-level Order status updates to monitor delivery schedules, manage key milestones, and proactively identify any material delays or shortages.
