A range of services to be able to:

Maintain and enrich data that is needed for the Purchasing IT system to function effectively

With 10 years of experience using purchasing Information Systems the CKS team has developed a firm conviction that maintaining certain types of basic data contained in Purchasing software tools should necessarily be outsourced.

This conviction is based on two consistently recurring observations with our clients:

• The difficulty to get the various participants in the purchasing process
• The need to update information more frequently concerning: e.g. catalogues of items that are constantly being improved, contact information due to rising employee turnover in the suppliers' organisations, more stringent reporting requirements regarding new criteria such as CSR ...

CKS Outsourcing thus offers a whole range of services allowing you to create, maintain and enrich the crucial data that ensures the proper functioning of your Purchasing software:

• Contacts and your suppliers' addresses, merchandise categories, article master data and price schedules, legal documents

Audit purchasing expenditures to recover overpayment of suppliers

It is difficult to completely eradicateoverpayment of suppliers since errors canarise from so many different sources:

• Payment errors, double payments,unused credits, recipient errors…
• Errors in negotiated prices, errorsin energy/raw mateial indexes, nonapplication of discounts…
• Errors in multiple and diverse dataentry

The increasing complexity oforganisations, the heterogeneity ofInformation Systems / control processesand emplyee turnover all lead to a greaterchance for error.
