SoftconCIS, a specialist in purchasing controlling, is launching the latest version of its powerful purchasing controlling software in January 2018: WebCIS 4.0 One World provides purchasing specialists and managers with a state-of-the-art solution for all strategic purchasing requirements.

Greater ease of use, higher performance, better dashboards and graphics, optimized for mobile devices and twice as fast

The cross-platform software suite WebCIS 4.0 One World can be used not only on desktops but also on all mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets – particularly practical for when you are on the move and need to access specific information during negotiations. The solution is state-of-the-art and runs on all modern PC and mobile browsers. Users benefit from improved performance with significantly shorter response times: Whether dashboards, graphics, queries, or analyses – WebCIS 4.0 One World delivers all the information you need for purchasing control at the touch of a button and is around twice as fast as WebCIS SL.

In addition to performance, SoftconCIS has also optimized the look and feel of the software.

Highlights of the new version include:

  • A completely new graphics wizard that allows you to freely design, label, and format many more graphics
  • New search functions, greater clarity
  • A new dashboard with integrated Excel functionality, various filters, formulas, graphic favorites, and conditional formatting to highlight trends
  • An online spreadsheet for additional calculations, comments, and comprehensive reporting—the ideal basis for interactive control dashboards and meaningful trend reports

In addition, purchasers receive professional support from the SoftconCIS Savings Guide: This smart tool helps to ask strategic questions and provides answers that show how purchasing can be further improved and costs saved. WebCIS is not just a provider of figures, but also contains relevant questions and answers in the form of key figures on all purchasing topics, such as supplier and product group strategy or product launches.

As with previous versions of WebCIS, users can put together their own individual purchasing control system with WebCIS 4.0 One World: The web-based solution includes modules for purchasing planning, supplier evaluation, contract management, performance measurement, key figure management, benchmarking and risk management, maverick buying analysis and analysis of payment terms, spend or potential analyses, balanced scorecards, product and process controlling, and measure controlling.

“Our new version helps purchasers work even more strategically – faster, better, and anywhere,” says Werner Güntner, Managing Director of SoftconCIS. “We are confident that this will inspire our existing customers and attract new ones.
