The ability to quickly see the status of all the requests for quotations (RFQ) that we are handling and all the purchase orders (PO) we have. The platform gives a status that allows my team to prioritize where to put their time and effort. At the beginning of each day, they review those statuses to know what their priorities are.
We also like the automated follow-ups and reminders the platform sends suppliers. They are based on our supplier's behaviors, and it allows us to focus on added-value tasks, knowing that suppliers will receive timely reminders. It is really easy to use and integrates with our messaging system, so we had nothing to change in our way of working.
Finally, we used the Axya directory to find new local partners for specific parts that we needed. Those parts were critical, and we wanted suppliers with specific certifications. Their customer support team was really helpful in finding the suppliers that we were looking for at first and now we are fully autonomous with the tool.
Axya is a software solution (SaaS) that enables procurement teams and suppliers in the manufacturing industry to be more efficient throughout the RFQ process. Axya also offers a marketplace of 4000+ suppliers across the global to help source for metal manufacturing needs.
