STORY

Problem-Solving Story

Real purchasing challenges in Thai manufacturing and how PCS purchasing management solves them.

CHALLENGEChallenge

Do any of these sound familiar in your purchasing department?

  • Manually creating purchase orders in Excel leads to frequent omissions and errors
  • Email/paper-based approvals mean even urgent orders take days to approve
  • No visibility into departmental purchasing budgets — budget overruns are noticed too late
  • Supplier purchase history and unit price records are scattered — hard to negotiate prices
  • Ordered items arrive late, threatening to halt the production line
  • Matching invoices against purchase orders requires enormous manual effort
