A Procurement Platform For Any Device

The Bring Your Own Device phenomenon is forcing business solution providers to rethink how they develop their products. Recent research shows that 40 percent of employees at companies with a staff of more than 1,000 now use their own personal devices for work-related activities.

So when innovators create new tools to facilitate business operations, many need to keep in mind that those solutions must work on whichever device an employee is using.

Cloud-based procurement solution provider Vroozi has taken note of the BYOD trend and released its newest service that responds to any device. According to a press release, the company revealed its procure-to-pay mobile first platform, a service Vroozi says is the world’s first procurement platform that works on any device.

The product offers spend management, discount pricing, supplier communication and other supply chain management and procurement offerings targeted toward small- and medium-sized enterprises. The platform can also be integrated into businesses’ existing ERP systems and other financial operations in use already. But it’s the platform’s ability to work on any device that Vroozi said is most beneficial to today’s SMEs.

“Even the most heavily regulated industries are now supporting BYOD,” said Vroozi CEO Steve Olds, “so to have a responsive procurement platform – one that works consistently on any device – is truly a game-changer for the modern business world.”

That modern business world, Vroozi COO and Co-Founder Shaz Khan said, means integration of the newest cloud technologies to streamline business operations. “We’ve morphed now into a solution with spend visibility that can benefit any size company – no hardware, no software and no implementation,” Khan stated. “Our goal is to become the No. 1 business-to-business shopping platform in the world.”

The new solution was announced Wednesday (March 18) and a free demo is now available for companies through Vroozi’s website, the company said. While B2B procurement is not often the first industry that comes to mind when technology adoption is considered, BYOD can facilitate technological implementation by reducing friction faced by employees required to use an unfamiliar device.
