SmartRank Analytics™

If your company has an e-Procurement solution in place chances are you also have a reporting feature within that lets you to slice, dice, and display the data regarding completed transactions. But what if you could gain visibility into what your End-Users were really looking for within your e-Procurement solution? What if you could anticipate purchasing trends based on End-User searches for products and services? What if you could use this feedback to help drive End-User demand to preferred Suppliers?

SmartRank Analytics is a sophisticated reporting module that enables companies to view Procurement data from its origin, End Users’ search terms, all the way through to completed purchases.
