Commodity: when a standard defines a product®
The procurement of commodities and standardized products is often an afterthought in modern supply chain discourse. Volatile prices and shifting production patterns require buyers to dynamically select vendors at the transaction level, often in minutes or seconds, in response to shifting market conditions. This model is not supported by either strategic sourcing platforms or purchasing and replenishment systems.
BuyMetrics is highly-specialized tactical sourcing software designed to fill the void between strategic sourcing platforms and transactional purchasing and replenishment systems. BuyMetrics enables buyers to discover price and availability in near-real time, select vendors at the transaction level, and execute dozens, or even hundreds, of transactions per day.
Patented, with ten years of continuous improvement, the BuyMetrics platform supports the acquisition of billions ($US) in commodity purchases annually. Clients vary from focused one-buyer operations to large publicly-traded multi-national corporations with dedicated commodity teams.
