Client

The Capita Group PLC – the number one provider of business process outsourcing (BPO) in the UK.
 

Issue

To achieve best value in the procurement of IT products, and related services, by increasing procurement efficiency, implementing standardisation and improving service levels.  

 
Solution 

ComputerLand provides Capita with a fully functional on-line procurement system. This has a bespoke product and services catalogue, that’s updated daily and incorporates Capita’s group-wide standard pricing and products. This easy to use system supports over 500 users across the Group and enables them to view product specifications, compare similar items, raise quotes, place orders and track their progress.

Additionally, ComputerLand provide a single, consolidated, monthly invoice which together with a supporting journal is posted directly into Capita’s finance system, reducing administrative workload and costs.

 
 
Result

“Implementation of this system has enabled us to roll standardisation out to a decentralised procurement model,” explains Capita’s Head of Procurement, Paul Smith. “The system supports over two thousand quotation and order transactions per month and has lowered our internal IT management costs”.

Paul Smith continues, “ComputerLand understand our business, respond to our needs on a day to day basis and provide us with an excellent level of service.”
