Procurement Management

Standardising Procurement, Vendor Coordination & Material Readiness with goPLIMS

Executive Summary
  • Procurement delays due to disconnected systems impacting project progress
  • Teams rely on Excel trackers, email threads, and disconnected ERP/SharePoint workflows
  • Vendor communication, approvals, and documentation are fragmented and difficult to trace
  • No unified execution layer connecting procurement to project delivery
Business Challenge
  • Spreadsheet-driven procurement tracking with inconsistent updatess
  • Slow vendor response cycles and unclear accountability
  • Fragmented documentation (POs, submittals, datasheets, approvals)
  • Limited visibility into long-lead items and critical path materials
The goPLIMS Solution
  • Unified procurement execution platform integrated with project workflows
  • Real-time dashboards for material readiness, vendor status, and long-lead tracking
  • Structured workflows for submittals, approvals, RFIs, deviations, and decisions
  • Digital documentation with audit trails and controlled access
