Zycus is an exciting recent entrant to the eSourcing market... Zycus has been very successful with companies that want a simple but effective tool, rather than a high-end product or a fully managed service. Companies that need to focus on usability to combat buyer resistance and want to get up and running very quickly should consider Zycus for their shortlists.

In order to be more broadly adopted, sourcing tools need easier to use functionality for constructing requests, evaluating bids, and archiving the results of events in a searchable fashion. The inclusion of strategic sourcing plan development within a sourcing application has the potential to enable purchasing organizations to more cleanly execute to plan.

Strategic Sourcing

Manual sourcing process – Reality bites

Traditional manual sourcing processes have been a constant challenge for strategic sourcing organizations. Typically, manual RFx (RFP, RFQ, RFI) processes have been cumbersome, time consuming and labor intensive. Every new sourcing event is characterized by its own inefficiencies; creation of RFx in excel/word documents with zero or minimal collaboration, receipt of supplier responses in multiple diverse formats, tedious consolidation of supplier responses in an user friendly format, manual scoring and ranking of the suppliers, complex excel based analysis, constraints on scenarios.

Such lengthy and tedious is the manual process that sourcing professionals often tend to invite a small, known group of suppliers to bid for business. Hence, opportunities to include new suppliers for a competitive bidding are few and far between. Moreover, all the RFx that are created remain trapped in emails, individual hard disks, and respective minds.

As a result, every time a RFP is created sourcing pros have to "recreate the wheel" due to lack of central repository. Adding to the complexity is the requirement of sourcing professionals to be highly skilled in spreadsheets. Not only should they be well conversed with the basic functions of excel but should also be skillful in macros that calls for a separate investment.

Transforming your sourcing process to next level of strategic sourcing-

It goes without argument- It’s high time for you to research on strategic planning and invest in eSourcing technology. The benefits of eSourcing are tangible and well documented, and have the potential to catapult your sourcing organization to the next level.
