Using SciQuest's focused expertise, we've tailored Express specifically for these markets:

SciQuest Supplier Network

Our robust supplier network includes more than 800 suppliers offering a wide range of goods and services. From scientific and medical materials to MRO services, from office supplies and equipment to IT, your users can find what they need through catalogs within the Express interface or direct links to supplier "punch-out" interfaces. You may select currently enabled suppliers from our network to include in your interface. Count on SciQuest's Supplier Enablement Services to enable important new suppliers for your organization.

Supplier information

Controlling the product information your users can view is essential to maximizing contract compliance. Express allows procurement professionals to promote contracts and organizational "best buys" by managing the appearance and positioning of suppliers and items presented in the search interface.

End-user shopping

Creating an easy-to-use purchasing experience while empowering your end users with the information they need is perhaps the most important challenge of any procurement system. Express combines a familiar, intuitive consumer search engine with the ability to compare items side by side, and drill down by item to see in-depth technical data and pictures.

Creating purchase requisitions

Users can simply point and click to fill shopping carts with items they need right from their computer screens. Express automatically posts these items to a purchase requisition and populates administrative fields such as user identification and shipping addresses. The speed and simplicity of the process creates an optimal user experience, critical to driving user adoption.

Requisition review and approval

Reviewing and approving requisitions using a manual, paper-based system can be time-consuming and error-prone, and can add costly delays to the procurement process. Express offers powerful electronic workflow that delivers requisitions instantly to designated approvers based on authorization limits, departmental review, account codes, health and safety review, or institutional rules - all significantly improving organization spend management.

Creating purchase orders

Express automatically divides multi-vendor requisitions into individual purchase orders and sends orders to your suppliers. Active purchase orders can be electronically delivered to accounts payable for recording or exported in a daily download.

Spend data and reports

Perhaps the greatest benefit Express can deliver is visibility into organizational spend. Time and money can only be recaptured if you know where it's being lost. By aggregating purchasing data in one comprehensive system, Express empowers procurement departments to become more strategic and less transactional, recovering precious resources that can be redirected to the fundamental mission of the institution.
