CHALLENGES FACED BY CONTROL & POWER SYSTEMS USING TRADITIONAL PROCUREMENT PROCESSES
Before embracing TRADOGRAM's procurement solution, Control & Power Systems grappled with a DOS-based program for procurement, resulting in significant inefficiencies. Managing paper trails consumed valuable time, and manual processes hindered effective communication between teammates and suppliers. Visibility of orders across the organization was nonexistent, leading to challenges in tracking project costs and ensuring accurate data entry within the limitations of the existing system. The company faced difficulties in controlling delivery dates, and not all project costs were accurately accounted for due to system constraints.
OBJECTIVES OF A PROCUREMENT SYSTEM:
In transitioning to TRADOGRAM, Control & Power Systems set clear objectives to overcome these challenges. The company sought a procurement system that would eliminate paper-based inefficiencies, enhance communication, streamline budget management, and provide greater control over delivery dates. The goal was to create a cohesive and transparent procurement process that could adapt to the dynamic needs of a systems integration provider.
RESULTING BENEFITS FROM IMPLEMENTING TRADOGRAM’S E-PROCUREMENT SYSTEM:
The implementation of TRADOGRAM's procurement system brought about transformative benefits for Control & Power Systems. The platform's features, such as data entry on purchase orders and file attachments, facilitated excellent document control. Engineers, shop personnel, and management gained complete visibility into ordered items and delivery timelines.

These efficiencies translated into bottom-line profits, showcasing the tangible impact of TRADOGRAM on the company's overall financial success.
