Account Setup
To begin, procurement professionals create a personalized profile to establish their business segment.
Discovery
Next, ELEVATE guides users through a brief questionnaire that enables the software to understand the user’s unique business priorities and objectives related to:
Once all key business information is inputted, the software conducts a thorough, top-to-bottom analysis of the user’s procurement processes and provides the user with a summary that ranks their business priorities. These results may be adjusted at the user’s discretion.
Supply Chain
Analysis
The user is then asked to complete a second questionnaire, which focuses on purchasing, ordering, and inventory habits, enabling the software to dollarize “soft costs” based on the user’s specific inputs. From purchasing to warehousing, this analysis helps identify efficiencies and areas of waste across the user’s supply chain system.
Workloading
Analysis
Labor represents 70% of a business’s annual maintenance budget. The workloading analysis takes a snapshot of your current labor deployment and identifies efficiency opportunities.
Site Survey
Next, users are guided room-by-room through a floor plan that resembles their building to explore product opportunities that specifically align with business priorities and goals identified earlier in the ELEVATE process.
Each time the user enters a room and clicks on a product category, they can view featured products and detailed information about each product, including videos, PDFs, webpages, and information about how that product can increase sustainability, reduce costs, promote health and hygiene, and more.
Cost Savings
Summary
Once the site survey is complete, a final interview is conducted, and a cost savings summary is generated. Users receive a personalized report that outlines their business priorities, supply chain savings potential, and products in which they showed interest during the ELEVATE process.
At any time throughout the analysis, users can request a consultation or live chat with a supply chain expert for more information or advice.
