Manage any type of task within your organisation and across corporate boundaries
The challenge
Procurement organisations receive a multitude of tasks every day that usually arrive through a variety of channels. Employees tend to find it hard to maintain an overview of all the tasks, to keep track of the deadlines and to link tasks to the relevant business objects. Added to this is the issue that many suppliers do not keep track of their obligations either and need to be reminded by email or telephone calls, adding further to the workload.
The concept put forward by apsolut and the benefits it provides

APQP/PPAP
Quality assurance processes are very laborious and usually tie up a great deal of human resources. The apsolut Interaction Manager will facilitate your quality assurance:
- Simplify communication between internal departments and suppliers
- Obtain an overview of all APQP/PPAP activities with a single click
- Use templates you have defined for recurring requirements and avoid errors along the process chain
