Streamline Purchasing and Strengthen Vendor Partnerships
Aligni simplifies purchasing by eliminating errors, enabling seamless collaboration, and turning scattered data into a competitive advantage. With everything in one system, you and your vendors work from a single source of truth for a more efficient procurement process
Build Stronger Vendor Relationships with a Comprehensive Purchasing Tool
Through the Vendor Portal, buyers can issue RFQs and purchase orders directly to selected vendors within the system. Aligni centralizes purchasing, product development, and production data in a single database, ensuring only accurate BOM and part information is used in the RFQ process.
Empower Teams to Select Preferred Vendors
Engineers and buyers can choose approved vendors over others when selecting parts for products or builds. Organizations can select and invite vendors from their list of approved vendors to receive RFQs and orders.
Provide vendors with secure, unique access.
From here, vendors can input quotes and update information directly within Aligni’s Vendor Portal. Access is designed to be secure and user-friendly, eliminating the need for complex credentials. Integrated training ensures vendors can navigate the process with ease.
Streamline Your Relationships with Vendors
Effective purchasing relies on clear and reliable communication. Aligni has built its purchasing tools to help make that exchange of information more expedient and dependable – in both directions.
Through the Vendor Portal, suppliers can directly enter quotes, inventory levels, and lead times into the system. This functionality accelerates the procurement process, improves efficiency, and reduces errors. Once parts are ordered, vendors can update delivery information within Aligni as needed.
Securely Share Latest Revisions with Vendors
Information shared in Aligni’s Vaults is sourced directly from the company’s item master database, ensuring vendors work with the latest revision levels. When revisions are made, updates are instantly transmitted to all authorized users.
Track and Control Access with Auditable Logs
Aligni monitors who has accessed the vaults and when, through detailed access logs. Once the project is complete, the sharing organization can chose to close file access, providing full control over data management.
