MENA focused Tejari has unveiled the latest version of its industry-leading strategic procurement platform, BravoAdvantageTM 17. Tejari’s latest offering comes packed with new value-generating features for procurement, including powerful business analytics, integrated procure-to-pay functionality and updated spend management and sourcing capabilities.
The launch of BravoAdvantage 17 comes a month after Gartner, Inc. positioned BravoSolution as a leader in its 2017 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Strategic Sourcing Application Suites. The recognition marked the fourth consecutive Magic Quadrant publication that Gartner has named BravoSolution as a leader – giving BravoSolution the longest consecutive leadership position in the report. Tejari operates as an integral part of the BravoSolution network with an exclusive focus on the Middle East and North Africa.
“Hundreds of customers and thousands of procurement practitioners rely on BravoAdvantage to unlock business value every day. Whether you are looking to uncover bottom-line savings, foster supplier innovation, reduce risk or automate and digitise critical procurement processes – BravoAdvantage puts procurement in a position to thrive,” said Jim Wetekamp, CEO of BravoSolution. “This release marks the largest update to the BravoAdvantage suite ever, and represents our commitment to taking a great product, listening to our customers and making it even more powerful, fully-functional and easier to use than ever before.”
BravoAdvantage provides the visibility, insight and transparency organisations need to improve procurement decisions and drive business value. New functionality in version 17 includes:
Interactive and customisable analytics that give procurement leaders and business professionals the insight they need to instantly measure performance, drive best practices and make smarter and more strategic decisions.
Complete strategic and operational procurement capabilities offered through a fully integrated source-to-pay solution that creates more control and transparency over the entire procurement lifecycle, while enabling procurement to reduce risk and influence growth.
Digital and mobile advancements that foster improved information-sharing, collaboration, real-time access and decision making.
The ability to digitally sign contracts through a new partnership with DocuSign, which will create significant time and resource savings for procurement.
BravoAdvantage 17 also includes updated spend analysis, supplier value management and sourcing optimisation functionality. All are connected to the new analytics tool, and now fully integrated into the BravoAdvantage suite. Across the entire platform, BravoAdvantage uncovers new channels for procurement to drive value beyond savings, including identifying opportunities to diversify spending, reducing supply chain risk and laying the foundation for supplier segmentation and product innovation.
“The new analytics tool in BravoAdvantage draws on data from other parts of the system to bring, for the first time, a complete view of spend across the organisation,” says Andrew Forzani, chief commercial officer at DWP. “Our team had been managing the process with spreadsheets and had their own ways of tracking suppliers and spend, sometimes in as many as eight different places. We can now access this information in one place at the click of a button.”
