SOLUTION / USE CASE

Making procurement manageable.
From request to decision.

VITAVO supports procurement and sourcing processes where requirements, suppliers, quotes, approvals, and evidence must be coordinated across multiple stakeholders.

Initial Situation

Typical Situation

Purchasing processes often rely on emails, spreadsheets, file systems, and disparate legacy systems. This leads to disjointed workflows, unclear status information, and additional coordination efforts—especially when multiple departments, locations, or decision-making levels are involved.

Scattered Requests

Requests arise in different departments and are not always recorded consistently.

Unclear approvals

Decisions, approvals, and follow-up questions are difficult to track.

Limited management visibility

Status, risks, budgets, and open issues are not centrally visible.

Solution

What VITAVO Organizes

VITAVO provides a manageable process logic for requirements, suppliers, quotes, documents, evaluations, approvals, and decisions. The procurement department remains flexible in terms of subject matter but is managed with clear organizational structure.

Capturing Requests

Requests are recorded in a structured manner and linked to responsibilities, deadlines, and supporting documents.

Engaging Suppliers

Information, quotes, supporting evidence, and communication are managed in a controlled manner.

Documenting Decisions

Evaluations, approvals, and justifications remain traceable.

Procurement is not only becoming more digital, but also more transparent and better equipped to make decisions. Teams know where a process stands, which documents are missing, and who needs to take the next step.

Greater Transparency

Status, responsibilities, and open items are visible at all times.

Decisions and approvals are made within the process and remain verifiable.
