Large organizations have many, many vendors and the business is always adding more to procure specialized or local products and services.

Vendor onboarding processes make sense for custom contracts or when there are large amounts at stake, but for most small purchases, a formal onboarding process is cumbersome and unnecessary.

Candex makes it very fast and easy to go through a full procure to pay (P2P) process without the need for a vendor setup. It saves employees and administrators hours of tedious work.

Candex Catalog vs Traditional Catalogs

Catalogs are valued as an easy way to make purchases versus a traditional engagement and invoice receipt from a vendor.

Traditional catalogs in your purchasing system allow you to search & buy limited items available from specific vendors - it is like buying from an e-commerce website but where approvals and the invoice can go right into your purchasing system. These catalogs usually have pre-negotiated and clear pricing for items available.

Candex is a completely different kind of catalog that provides you with far more flexibility. Items & services are not “pre-loaded” in Candex. You must know what you are buying, from whom and at what price prior to coming to Candex. The good news is that you can purchase from any vendor for anything!
