Client Business description
Our client, based in the Netherlands, is a major European oil and energy exploration and production company. The client mostly focuses on the Netherlands, the UK, Norway, and West Africa, which have more than 200 million boe of reserves and resources. They have managed a successful and well-balanced upstream portfolio of operated and non-operated exploration and production assets for over 10 years.
Being in the BLA industry, the client was already dealing with humongous amounts of material and requirements that come with it, such as purchasing, taking quotes, comparing, and auditing. While doing all this, they came across several problems.
- Problems with purchasing materials regularly because they are required to be acquired daily.
- Purchasing procedure that is both difficult and time-consuming
- Soliciting price estimates from a variety of suppliers for the various materials
- Considering several bids before making a decision
- Challenges in auditing and managing compliance requirements
Beyond Intranet's Solution
Itemized bidding is the answer that we came up with to this problem. A comprehensive project subdivided into its parts is referred to as an itemized bid. Specific information, such as materials, material costs, labor, and labor costs, are broken down into separate categories within the bid. Simply put, this makes it much simpler to see and comprehend precisely what work is required. Here is what we did to their existing challenges:
To facilitate item-by-item procurement, we have made Itemized Bidding available.
Streamlined solution that consists of a four-step process and an option for quick chat
Smart evaluation process
An easy decision-making process that involves comparing different quotes based on a number of different factors, including time, rate, material, etc.
Using a different supplier for each line item's bid and awarding those bids separately
A centralized location to store all information pertaining to procurement, an easy way to obtain approval, and the standardization of the process
With the option to export reports with just one click, documentation, the preparation of audit reports, and the fulfillment of compliance requirements are much simpler.
