FULLSTEP Platform – your sourcing organization's backbone
The FULLSTEP Platform is a complete set of technology based solutions that guarantee the financial and organizational success of your sourcing and procurement functions. The FULLSTEP platform will also streamline internal and external communications to improve efficiency and reduce unnecessary tasks.
The FULLSTEP platform is a set of modules and applications that support the complete scope of procurement functions: from the definition and approval of the need to purchase order management, from supplier evaluation to online negotiation, our modules flexibility ensures the efficiency of your sourcing and procurement processes.
The core of the platform is the GS module: FULLSTEP Global Sourcing. This is where the foundations of your sourcing model will be laid: organization, users, profiles, purchasing categories, workflows and more additional processes and functionalities can be configured around this basic layer.
FULLSTEP GS is also the module where the negotiation processes are set up and managed. Design RFQs and templates, define deadlines and rules for your suppliers, and then use the powerful Comparison Panel to make the optimum decision. Finally, generate your contracts from the negotiation panels, and manage them through your company's configured workflows.
FULLSTEP PM and FULLSTEP QA are built around a common principle: customizable forms flowing through customizable workflows which are integrated from one module to another.
FULLSTEP PM allows you to configure any information flow, thus giving you the capability of digitalizing any business process. In procurement optimization projects, it is generally used to electronically handle purchasing requisitions approval, project management, as well as prototype and sample approvals.
FULLSTEP QA is the tool to handle Supplier Information Management and Supplier Performance Monitoring. On one side, it is a repository for all quality related documents from your vendors and suppliers, and on the other, it is a dashboard where you can evaluate and monitor your supplier’s performance, based on the KPIs and service level agreements that you define.
FULLSTEP EP, or eProcurement, is the tool to handle the electronic release of purchase orders, from an internal electronic catalog. Based on their customized profiles, the users have access to a list of parts included in purchasing agreements or contracts with approved vendors. All characteristics are pre-loaded in the system (price, specifications, picture and more), as well as the pre-existing rules for electronic approval of the orders.
FULLSTEP PORTAL is the gateway for suppliers to all procurement activities of the organization. It is the repository of all communication between your organization and the suppliers, potential or actual. Through the Portal, suppliers can register, send bids, participate in reverse auction, share documentation, respond to non-conformities, take part in surveys, receive, accept or decline purchase orders, with several user profiles, and automatic notifications that help push every process.
FULLSTEP SM is the module for Spend Management: it is a set of parameters and functionalities that allows you to link all the procurement activities to your budget structures, and generate customized reports, following the indicators that make sense to your organization. The module can be complemented by a customized Control Panel that can integrate in the reports data from any other deployed company software.
In order to maximize the integration of the sourcing organization in the value chain, FULLSTEP developed FULLSTEP IS, or Integration Services. The FULLSTEP Platform can be integrated with the rest of your management software in order to streamline information, avoid double data entry and increase productivity and cooperation between areas.
The modules of the FULLSTEP platform can be implemented as stand-alone solutions or integrated in packages as sophisticated as you would like them to be.
