PROCUREMENT
An integral part of Oracle’s Fusion Procurement suite, Oracle Fusion Self
Service Procurement provides a user-friendly approach to managing employee
requests goods and services. Oracle Fusion Self Service Procurement provides
the best capabilities of an e-commerce web site with the tools to control spend.
This increases the level of satisfaction for your employees, reduces your support
cost, and ensures the highest level of compliance.
Broaden Self Service Adoption
Oracle Fusion Self Service Procurement delivers a friendly user experience that is similar to
the best consumer web sites. With little or no training, employees can easily search, use
shopping lists, browse categories, and find what they need. This means that for most use
cases, there’s less for employees to learn and fewer barriers to success. You can also leverage
advanced capabilities for instances where there are requirements such as one-time delivery,
accounting splits and project accounting. Fusion Self Service Procurement’s user experience
and embedded training changes the dynamics of user acceptance. Ultimately this has a major
impact on user satisfaction, which helps drive broader adoption, compliance, and savings.
Motivate Good Choices
Oracle Fusion Self Service Procurement features embedded Oracle Procurement and Spend
Analytics in the context of self-service requisitioning. This gives employees visibility into the
quality and performance of approved alternatives at the time of purchase. For example,
information on item popularity and lead-times can help users make selections with the highest
satisfaction and lowest cost. Likewise, embedded analytics improve visibility to help avoid
expediting costs, returns, and provide motivation for improved supplier performance.
Catalogs can be partitioned based on item category, browser category, and agreement;
ensuring that the best prices and preferred suppliers are easy to find. By providing requestors
with the data needed to make informed buying decisions, Oracle Fusion Self Service
Procurement motivates users to make smarter choices.
