Direct Overview

Taking the Direct approach to procurement
When it comes to procurement, time is of the essence. As IT issues become further imbedded in the business decision-making process, technology is subject to the same efficiency demands as other business-critical functions. Which means timely and accurate quotations are a top priority.

To expedite your procurement process, Datacraft has developed Direct, a real-time, web-based ordering portal that enables you to receive or create quotes and fulfil orders almost instantly. With Direct, there's no waiting at any time. Built to the highest industry standards, Direct is a scalable solution that can cater to your business expansion and augment your procurement capabilities, all at the click of a mouse. No fuss, no rush and no delays.

Key benefits

  • Instant, online access to quotes with no waiting at any time
  • Simplified procurement procedures that are easy to manage
  • Lower transaction costs and reduced cost per purchase
  • No capital outlay for the benefit of operating an e-procurement system

    Designed for your convenience
    Direct allows you to receive or create your quotes based on your preferences, giving you greater speed and control when it comes to ordering technology and services from Datacraft.

    Preparing a quote for you
    Our Sales Managers can configure and prepare a quotation on your behalf. If you wish to include multi-vendor items or Datacraft services within your quotation, leveraging our expertise could be your most convenient option.

    Creating your own quotes
    If you prefer to generate your own quotes, Direct can
    provide them in real time, along with the supporting
    Purchase Orders. You will be given personalised
    login details and options that allow you to pre-configure multi-vendor bundles on the basis of infrastructure requirements or budget specifications. In all instances, the quotes are presented professionally in electronic format, which means no more faxes or large e-mail attachments.

    Integrating with your procurement process
    Direct can also be integrated into your existing procurement system, and operate according to the workflows and rules set up in this system. You can choose to create your own quotes by logging into the Datacraft account in your system. Or, our Datacraft Sales Manager can prepare the quote on your behalf, and you can then review, edit, delete and/or approve the quotation in your system at your convenience.

    All the quotations created will be stored in your system, so that you can retrieve and re-use them at anytime. Besides saving you time, the integration will enable you to manage the entire procurement process better and maximise the investment returns of your e-procurement system.
