Optimal sourcing processes and best data quality
FUTURA is a powerful purchasing and procurement solution for sourcing automation and helps to simplify procurement processes, relieve the burden on day-to-day operations and generate measurable savings.
precisely SPECIFY requirements
No more unclear purchase requisitions or "order me" emails at the start of the supply chain. AI assistants help to raise the quality of specifications and thus ensure that time-consuming inquiries from requisitioners and buyers are minimized.
Advertise requests EFFICIENTLY
Flexible RFX management with a high degree of automation makes it possible to make the request process faster and more transparent. The prerequisite: maximum ease of use and high user acceptance. For all stakeholders.
NEGOTIATE SUCCESSFULLY
A structured recording and AI-supported analysis quotations as a basis for negotiation have great potential for reducing costs. Achieve the best combination of price and conditions – to match your procurement goals.
