Organizations that have implemented eprocurement solutions are still often challenged to extend their savings and efficiency to isolated stockrooms and internal stores. Some stockrooms are managed internally, some by vendors. Users can't tell what supplies or materials are in stock, which causes frustration ("it takes too long to get what I need") and leads to overspending by purchasing more of what you already have in-house. Even if stockroom inventories are being managed ad hoc, is it integrated with your procurement solution? Standardized across the organization?

SciQuest solution: Supplies Manager

The SciQuest inventory and stockroom management solution, Supplies Manager , allows clients to manage multiple stockrooms using a simple single application that is fully integrated with our eprocurement application. So you get a unified system for all internal and external goods and ordering.

Supplies Manager eliminates separate processes for ordering goods from on-site stockrooms and stores, lowering operating costs while improving service to end users. The enhanced user experience increases visibility, simplifies ordering and promotes internal inventories above external vendors, creating efficiencies and increasing on-contract spending.

The SciQuest inventory and stockroom management solution is ideal where:

• Multiple stockrooms need to be managed.
• Organizations have a lot of vendor-managed inventory.
• Multiple software programs are managing the inventory.
• There is a need to integrate inventory items into the organization's procurement system.

Enterprise Reagent Manager (ERM)

Enterprise Reagent Manager (ERM) is the material management and procurement tool for chemical reagents and other materials used in the research process. Researchers developing compounds rely on rapid access to appropriate reagents and supplies; ERM allows users throughout the organization to find, source and track them from a single application. It also optimizes inventory use and promotes regulatory compliance while managing the risks associated with hazardous materials. Visit the ERM module page for more information.
