NG Bailey, utilising Amtech software, wins Award!

NG Bailey, utilising Amtech Group Ltd software, has won the “Most innovative use of Technology” at the prestigious CIPS Supply Management awards 2014.

The category rewards procurement and supply chain teams that have used technology in an innovate way to improve performance or efficiency.

Amtech’s team worked in conjunction with NG Bailey’s senior procurement professionals in order to create a tool to better manage their purchasing.

With hundreds of engineers on the road, NG Bailey sort to optimise control of what was being bought, how much was being paid for items and where these items were being purchased from. The goal of the development was to taking advantage of NG Bailey’s considerable purchasing power for discounts, but also improve fulfilment of purchase agreements with suppliers – resulting in improved receipt of forecast rebates from their suppliers.

Amtech developed a web based tool to allow engineers to request the products they required for a specific job, from any mobile device and send this back to the central purchasing system for items to be correctly procured at the optimum price.

The application uses the new Active Product Selector “APS” to ensure engineers are only using the manufactures where you have agreed discounts and Net prices. This functionality is also available in Amtech’s newly launched XG range, the most powerful Estimating system on the market.

This data is exclusively supplied by Luckins, which is the industry standard for product and pricing information in the building services sector.

This was huge achievement for both companies and shows continued innovation from Amtech, as the trusted name in the Building services software market.
