But there’s a catch. Achieving this level of efficiency depends on how well your users master the tool.
For buyers and suppliers, getting to grips with purchasing tools quickly can be a major challenge. And for good reason, unlike other software, e-purchasing solutions aren’t utilized day-to-day. The challenge for companies is to train users in record time, enabling them to get the most out of these e-purchasing solutions.
To do this, user onboarding is a must. From improving the user experience to adopting e-purchasing solutions, discover how step-by-step user onboarding can optimize the performance of your Purchasing.
1. e-Purchasing solutions: first impressions are essential
E-sourcing, e-procurement, and e-purchasing solutions all make it possible to promote purchasing agility by standardizing and automating procurement processes, as well as pooling and securing company data. But being equipped with these tools means purchasing departments are also facing major digital adoption challenges.
To meet these challenges, user onboarding is fundamental. But why? Onboarding training directly affects user experience and the way buyers and suppliers use their tools. So, how do you implement them sustainably?
