Basware, a leading provider of e-invoicing and purchase-to-pay solutions, has launched Basware Purchase, a core addition to its e-procurement suite.

Lack of adoption and user buy-in of procurement tools and processes is often a source of maverick spend within businesses. So Basware Purchase has been designed to be very user-friendly, providing an end-user experience inspired by the most intuitive consumer e-commerce sites. The result is increased adoption levels, deeper savings, increased spend under management and greater on-contract purchasing.

Basware Purchase provides a consumer-style shopping experience that is simple to use, with one-click purchase requisitions from approved catalogues. The contract compliance engine ensures purchases are based on frame agreements where appropriate. Plus, comprehensive end-user analytics bring insights into spend, process bottle-necks, compliance issues and supplier performance even while out of the office, thanks to access via tablet apps. This means managers across the organisation can easily track consumption and budget compliance for a given cost centre at any time and from any location.

Basware Procurement solutions are powered by the Alusta platform, which connects to the Basware Commerce Network. This gives users a comprehensive cloud-based platform that extends across the enterprise for simply and cost-effectively creating, deploying and connecting critical purchase-to-pay and order-to-cash processes.

Basware Purchase will be available on the Alusta platform starting from June 2013.
