“Where is the pump?” This answer costs 35 minutes. Or none.
Order confirmation, delivery note and invoice copy are attached to the order as soon as they arrive. Anyone who wants to know the status can see it for themselves. Included in the basic package.

Get to know simple system. In a short demo, Sergio Nordmann gives you a personal look at the platform.
Documents arrive by themselves
Order confirmation, delivery note and invoice copy are attached to the order.
Status without manual updates
The status changes with the documents. Nobody has to update anything.
You control the rights
Your own orders, your department or the whole company. You decide who sees what.
1,000+ vendors
To the vendor overviewThanks to connecting our proven GARANT Tool24 dispensing machine to simple system, requisitions now run fully automatically all the way to goods receipt. With the four-eyes principle combined with approval settings in simple system, we always keep full control.
Thursday, 2 p.m.
The foreman calls procurement and asks where the pump is. The line has been down since this morning. The buyer searches her inbox for the order confirmation, finds one for a different order, calls the vendor and waits on hold. At 2:35 p.m. she knows the pump will arrive tomorrow. That answer cost 35 minutes.
Calls like this are everyday business, not the exception. Then there is invoice verification. Anyone checking whether an invoice is correct needs the purchase order, the order confirmation and the delivery note, and they sit in three inboxes and a folder. If the documents are missing, the invoice gets paid because that is faster than clarifying it.
Like a folder for every order. Filed before anyone asks.
Every order sits in one place together with its documents, and whoever should see it can see it without asking. Like a folder for each order in which the delivery note and invoice copy are already filed before anyone asks for them.
What this is worth: an example calculation with disclosed assumptions, not a measured value. With 120 invoices a month and 3 minutes less searching for documents per invoice, that is 6 hours a month, in invoice verification alone. On top of that, the status calls disappear. Anyone who gets five of them a day saves considerably more than these 6 hours.
The limit: The overview shows what the vendors report. It is not parcel tracking and knows nothing that does not arrive as a document. If you have vendors who do not send electronic documents, you will not see their documents here either. It also does not replace invoice verification or posting. Both stay in your system.
Nothing extra
The order overview with follow-up documents is part of the Basis module.
Whoever asks can see for themselves
Anyone who wants to know where the delivery is checks for themselves instead of calling.
Documents at hand for verification
Purchase order, order confirmation and delivery note are kept together.
Fewer duplicate orders
Open orders are visible, even to the department next door.
Reorder with account assignment
What was checked once comes along the second time.
To be honest
Vendors without electronic documents do not appear here either.
