Zycus has introduced “Guided Buying” as a P2P innovation that closes the compliance blind spot for off-catalog requisitions, enabling both higher levels of Buying and Process Compliance.
Also known as the GPS of P2P – "Guided Procurement System", has the capability to prompt the user to specify their exact requirements by presenting a pre-configured, category-specific "Guided Form" which appears based on the user's search term.
