Features
Activate Early Purchasing Manager Involvement
Design to Source (D2S) is an integrated process that bridges product design and sourcing, enhancing collaboration among all stakeholders. It manages multiple BOM versions to easily track changes and identify material or component differences during product development.
Optimize costs across all development stages
This solution enables line-by-line cost optimization throughout product development and production phases. By grouping similar components into a single sourcing project, it increases purchasing volume and drives down unit costs, enhancing overall cost efficiency.
Enhance your procurement journey with AI
AI is embedded throughout the solution to automate analysis, enhance decision-making, and reduce manual effort—from item similarity detection to quotation evaluation and price forecasting.
