The packaging specification market is expected to grow to around $1 trillion by 2020, making up around 200+ million packaging SKUs around the world. With 60 million in the United States alone – this number is growing daily, as is the complicated process of sharing specs and managing them, both internally and externally. This growing complexity impacts a company's entire value chain as well as supplier management. With the number of specs exploding due to consumer demand, how are procurement professionals able to adequately manage their specs and their suppliers, all while reducing costs?
Specright’s Specification Data Management solution gives procurement and purchasing professionals the tools they need to take control of their specifications and optimize their supplier management; ultimately enabling greater procurement efficiencies.
With clear visibility into approved specifications, it’s easier than ever to manage suppliers, transition time to new suppliers and reduce costs.
- Supplier Exchange Portal: Put your specification and vendor data at your fingertips, reducing the time to prepare bids and transition to new vendors. Increase efficiency through collaboration with suppliers, while all accessing specs in the same, central location.
- Interactive bid reports: Stop emailing spreadsheets with incomplete information. With the Specright Exchange, send your suppliers direct links to accurate specifications, technical drawings, and artwork. Automated alerts and approvals notify you when specifications are changed.
- Consolidation analytics: Use the Like Item Finder to identify similar items by packaging type, style, and dimensions. You can now consolidate or harmonize to begin realizing more volume purchasing power.
- Dashboards and reporting: Easy to prepare management reports give insight into areas for savings and cost-reduction activities. Run reports on areas such as pricing, inventory by location, usage, recycled content, and supplier capabilities.
