Purchasing

Purchasing for the office products industry has changed over the years. The investment in a purchasing agent used to be justified by the amount of money the agent saved the business through shopping around for the best price on each item. Today, savings are the result of buying power. Businesses now try to buy as many items as possible from the same wholesaler. This results in greater rebates and a stronger negotiating position with the wholesaler.

Office products dealers who previously could not meet the minimum order requirements for direct purchasing now can align themselves with a buying group to overcome these minimum order obstacles.

Many Silver Pluse features can help you maximize automation of eNsite, and therefore your business’ efficiency. Several of the features available to help automate eNsite involve purchasing functions. Although the initial setup requires thought and planning, the result is that eNsite automates the repetitive tasks of purchasing, and you and your employees handle only the exceptions.

Silver Plus recommends Managing by Exception. This means that you set up eNsite to handle the normal occurrences, and you handle only the exceptions manually.
