With AuraPortal the communication with the suppliers and providers will become tighter and more fluid reducing the purchase cycle and the errors in the exchange of data, keeping them more satisfied and reducing dramatically the administrative costs.

Recruiting and Homologizing Suppliers. As well as the traditional channels for recruitment, the Internet platform can be used for finding new suppliers, using electronic markets and other systems, permitting an improved search, selection, evaluation and negotiation of new contracts.

Channels of Communication with Suppliers. Also with simple access using Web, AuraPortal provides External Portals to a private and exclusive channel with each supplier, integrating it in the workflow of the company. This increases the transparency of the relations, generating a new level of confidence and commitment.

Data always Updated. In the majority of the cases (more and more) it will be the actual suppliers who will maintain directly their data updated: new products and services, special offers, availability, prices, stock in warehouse, delivery times, payment conditions, etc.

Elements of Information and Collaboration. Also, there are all kinds of communication and collaboration tools available for the suppliers: contents, documents, surveys, forums, debates on-line or shared agendas and, most of all, the process tasks. On receiving the process tasks, the suppliers can receive documents for reading, downloading, digital signature, etc. Equally, they can send documents in the tasks for the company.
