Optimize Standardized Purchasing Processes

00:07 I want to use as a real-world example of “inOrder” to show how easy it is to come up with new ideas. Let's say Michael, who works in the field, wants to order a new laptop.

00:17 That means he has to choose a product and get permission from the company.

00:21 The whole thing has to be written down.

00:25 When looking for suppliers, he might ask the IT department where he can get certain laptops from a certain supplier.

00:31 That means that he and the IT department will have to look for the product together.

00:36 Then he asks for an offer, which he then takes to his department manager or his boss to get permission. The next step will be to place an order.

00:43 He waits for the package to come.

00:45 Then, before the accounting department can pay the bill, this whole process will be done digitally. This process is slowly becoming too paper-heavy, is not clear, and is hard to understand because of that.

00:58 Let's look at how we could help Michael with digital transformation.

01:03 We set up an internal online shop for Michael where he can only see the items he is allowed to order. He goes through the checkout process, just like when he shops online at home. During this checkout, he makes a kind of purchase requisition, and then “inOrder” starts to get the different clearances.

01:20 When everything is clear, “inOrder”sends the order to the supplier.

01:25 The product is sent out by the supplier, and Michael writes down the receipt.

01:29 The accounting department can then use the receipt to make the payment.

01:32 This process is digital and clear, so it can be looked at and studied.
