What does your Procurement Flow look like?

Every business needs to purchase materials, but organizations have different requirements. Not all procurement and materials management software offer the same functionality.

Point-to-Point (P2P) Procurement

Project-Based 3rd Party Procurement

Point-to-Point (P2P) Procurement

The most common organizational procurement management software.

Simple Purchasing Workflow

Individuals at one organization (O) buy final products (FP)

The same organization pays all invoices within a single accounting workflow.

Example: A mid-sized company needs a procurement system to streamline staff purchases. E.g. Tom in HR needs to buy a new desk chair.

ERP Procurement

ERP systems can accommodate more involved procurement processes, but only support a single accounting department.

Complex purchasing workflows for a single purchasing organization

Individuals at one organization (O) buy & coordinate materials (M) to manufacture final products (FP)

The same organization pays all vendor invoices through a single accounting system

Example: A technology manufacturing business uses a procurement system to purchase and track materials needed to assemble computer monitors that get shipped to wholesalers.

Project-Based 3rd Party Procurement

Current is a first of its kind, a procurement management software built specifically for the needs of project-based, third-party procurement organizations.

Complex purchasing workflows

Individuals at one organization (O) buy on behalf of clients (C) and coordinate materials (M) with vendors to manufacture final products (FP)

The organization coordinates purchases to meet client accounting requirements, aka. “buying on someone else’s paper”

The clients pay vendor invoices directly

Example: An engineering firm designs a pump replacement project at a water treatment plant and needs a procurement system that can:

Integrate with engineering design specifications

Coordinate the purchasing, expediting and inspection of materials

Centralize vendor and materials management

Coordinate invoicing for clients to pay vendors directly

Scale Your
Procurement Operations

Does your organization execute more than one procurement project at a time?
Wouldn’t it be great if your procurement system was more customizable and easier to deploy?

Your team could manage multiple clients with different projects and custom requirements. And do it all from a single interface.

That’s exactly what Current was designed to do. Deploy custom procurement workflows in just a few hours.

Say goodbye to error-prone spreadsheet systems and complicated software implementations.

With Current, you can quickly spin up new project teams for different clients with unique workflows.

A Procurement-First Software

P2P & ERP software are structured around a single organization’s accounting process. That’s an issue for project-based, third-party procurement teams.

Your third-party procurement teams need to customize purchasing workflows around the accounting processes of different client organizations.

Confidently

Take decisions based on your current information.

Quickly

Meet your clients’ unique accounting needs.

Easily

Adjust every aspect of the software.
