Procurement

The Aidmatrix Network® Procurement Module is an online application used to organize the purchasing of products and services for your humanitarian relief efforts. This module enables you to consolidate your ordering, provide a complete purchasing history and work in real-time with your suppliers. Use this information to empower yourself and your partners to consolidate your purchasing in order to negotiate discounted rates from suppliers saving time, resources and money. It integrates easily with other modules to provide simple end-to-end purchasing and inventory management.
