While purchasing and sourcing represent critical supplier relationship management capabilities, often their efficiency is reduced by labor-intensive, repetitive tasks. JDA Negotiate facilitates a repeatable sourcing process for planned and unplanned materials, new or alternate parts, and the complex sourcing of manufacturing processes and assemblies. By automating the creation, distribution and analysis of bid packages, this solution improves productivity and time-to-value.
How does it solve your business challenges?
JDA Negotiate enables real-time communication with your suppliers, accelerating collaboration. Advanced workflows drive sourcing and negotiation, and predefined events trigger notifications — especially important for time-critical or limited-availability goods. JDA Negotiate enables you to rapidly construct bid packages, as well as compare bids with variable costs, audit revisions and evaluate total costs.
What are the benefits?
- Lower total purchase costs
- Elimination of hidden costs
- Optimized inventories, transportation and distribution
- Enhanced responsiveness to availability issues or other challenges
Why JDA?
JDA Negotiate is designed for global operations, supporting multiple currencies, units of measure and languages. The solution enables your buyers to analyze bids with flexible pricing and terms (e.g., with price breaks based on monetary amount or quantity), as well as multiple time periods and ship-to locations. Bid packages can include cost variables such as tooling, transportation, distribution, insurance, inventory, duties and tariffs — to reflect total landed costs.
