Testimonials

"PROACTIS is enabling us to tailor the day-to-day purchasing process to the culture, experience, and needs of individual companies while establishing consistent organisation-wide controls and supporting our strategic sourcing initiative."

Jake Schmoyer, Director of Procurement, Oldcastle Materials Group

 

"Our Financial Director considers this a 'business critical' system and is very pleased with the way it is working."

Ed Reed, Trident ICT Business Process Partner, Trident Housing Association

 

"PROACTIS has speeded up the production of our monthly accounts and we can now understand the details behind each of our cost numbers."

Greg McLeen, Finance Director, Hoyer UK

 

"PROACTIS Spend Control has provided us with exactly the framework we needed to gain control and visibility of indirect spend across our 1,500+ locations - we're very happy with the results."

Zoe Matsell, Head of Indirect Procurement, Wolseley UK

 

"We set out to source a product that supported the procurement cycle from supplier registration and approval, through the tender stage and on to the formal contract award and beyond. We also needed a solution that was tried and tested in the Public Sector and that we could implement quickly."

Steve Kelvin, Procurement Performance & Systems Manager, Leeds City Council (SCMS)

 

"PROACTIS stood out as the only solution capable of delivering the level of control we needed without being too complex to extend to such a large number of non-financial users. The other systems we looked at offered extensions to a financial platform, but PROACTIS was designed specifically to streamline purchasing and manage expenditure before it occurs, so it was the obvious choice."

Tim Fuery, Assistant Director of Finance, University of Birmingham

 

"We set out to ensure that our financial management platform was capable of providing the agility needed to support a growing business like Virgin Active. For us, this meant not only implementing a system that was capable of recording and analysing the numbers, but the ability to manage the numbers, and particularly our costs, would be critical."

Nicola Urquhart, Finance Manager, Virgin Active

 

"PROACTIS has great functionality and a technical environment that gives us much needed workflow for approving spend. This, when combined with PROACTIS' impressive approach to implementation and their clear understanding of our business needs, made the choice compelling."

Max Beddard, Finance Director, Bauer UK

 

"It's no small feat to establish a single Procurement system that enables us to manage 850 different properties as separate entities. But in doing so, we now have the best spend control system in our business. We believe PROACTIS is helping us deliver more value to our clients than any other property management company in the UK."

Mathew Burnham, Chief Operating Officer, Asset Management, CB Richard Ellis

 

"We were impressed by the system's ability to help us control different types of spend. PROACTIS extended the concept of spend control beyond categories like stationery and IT, to address critical areas of spend such as marketing, capital expenditure and services, many of which are not really capable of being catalogued in a typical eProcurement system."

Joanne Seymour, Group Financial Controller, Tote

 

"While all staff had to place orders via the Procurement Officer in the past, they are now able to purchase directly, which frees up their time. The Procurement Officer is now able to deal with more specialist and strategic projects that might include looking at our supplier base and further eCommerce capabilities that will help us provide the best possible service to our members."

Jane Smith, National Official (Finance), NASUWT

 

"We chose to work with PROACTIS for a variety of reasons, but were particularly attracted by the fact that PROACTIS specialises in spend control technology. Unlike many other vendors who sell a whole host of financial and ERP systems, PROACTIS is able to offer specialist software which can easily be linked to our other systems."

Jack Smith, Head of Purchasing, Boehringer Ingleheim

 

"PROACTIS has enabled us to take control of purchasing and truly understand what we are spending with our different suppliers. In turn, this has enabled us to focus more on getting better value and reducing our spend."

Belinda Turner, Purchasing Manager, NSPCC
