P2P
GEP QUANTUM provides full procure-to-pay (P2P) functionality — from item search to invoice matching and payment authorization — that is easy to use, easy to deploy, and proven effective. As a buyer, you have quick, easy access to supplier catalogs, including hosted/contracted catalogs and punch-out/commercial catalogs. You can compare across different suppliers or lines, fill shopping carts and place easily trackable orders — just like a consumer shopping portal.
In this release, 15 features/enhancements have been added to P2P.
