Optimize Supplier Relations
With Aligni, you can integrate product development, engineering, and procurement into a unified workflow that simplifies ordering, removes friction, and helps you leverage product data across your organization
Intuitive and Fluid Progression from Parts to Quotes
Optimize the Ordering Workflow
The robust item master database at the core of Aligni is your organization’s information hub, storing all part, vendor, and quote data. This unified approach ensures all departments rely on the same data, fostering seamless collaboration across teams.
Eliminate Unnecessary Steps Between Applications
Say goodbye to toggling between email and PLM systems to manage quotes. With this streamlined solution, you can send RFQs and POs directly to vendors. Vendors can respond with pricing, availability, promise dates, and delivery metrics—all within the same platform.
Faster updates from integrated purchasing data
When the purchasing process is housed within the same system as product lifecycle management, changes during the buying process automatically update the information used by others in the system. The integrated systems accelerate information distribution across workgroups and departments, fostering a more agile and responsive organization.
Eliminate Friction in Vendor Collaboration
Aligni’s Vendor Portal enhances communication and strengthens relationships by centralizing quoting and purchasing workflows, creating a seamless experience for suppliers and purchasers.
Directly Communicate with Vendors Through Aligni’s Vendor Portal
The Vendor Portal is highly integrated with Aligni’s other functions like inventory management and demand planning. This integration reduces the issues that stem from working between a PLM system and an email system to manage purchases. It also centralizes communication if there are more than one buyer within the organization.
Increase Vendor Response Time
The Vendor Portal enables vendors to enter quotes into Aligni and update delivery times once finalized. It also provides visibility into responses, requests, and a big-picture view of their customer relationship, fostering stronger partnerships through communication and transparency.
Simplify Vendor Access Securely
The Vendor Portal is designed without the need for vendor accounts, eliminating the hassle of additional logins or account management. With instant notifications for new RFQs and updates, this approach encourages quick adoption, reduces vendor resistance, and ensures efficiency.
