CombineNet ASAP^®: Sourcing Template and Spend Category Solutions

Designed for ease-of-use and adoption by sourcing teams, the CombineNet ASAP® best-in-class sourcing product includes strategic sourcing template solutions for rapid creation and launch of E-RFX and E-Auction activities and online sourcing events.

CombineNet ASAP's template management lets buyers re-use, modify, and share previously created ASAP sourcing events as templates. CombineNet also offers, through our strategic sourcing solution services, consulting for developing sourcing category templates based on best practices we have acquired from over a decade of serving global customers in all spend categories.

CombineNet ASAP's template management lets buyers easily:

• Convert CombineNet ASAP sourcing events (RFX and E-Auction) into templates for re-use and re-configuration.
• Launch new sourcing events from templates in just a few steps.
• Improve sourcing strategies from event to event, by quickly making configuration changes.
• Edit templates to modify item, supplier, and bidding data fields; adjust cost models; configure reports; and set default event features.
• Share and scale successful event templates with other sourcing teams and buyers across the organization — for more consistent and standardized sourcing approaches.
• Pre-populate supplier and item data into templates for additional sourcing efficiency in repeat events.

Template management in CombineNet ASAP gives buyers more flexibility and control over the creation and management of their sourcing events — and from an organizational standpoint, fosters sharing and scalability of best practices and centralized processes.
