Will be easy for all departments and department management to review projects/bids.
Become more sustainable by using less paper.
Obtain better services and pricing through more access to bidders in the United States and Canada.
Ensure transparency and consistency in all projects/bids.
Provide reports and audits to assist in the purchasing process.
Provide an easy to view Contract Management module for departments to access information.

Casamento said, “We are very excited to use this new tool to improve service for our departments.”
