Define your 
Companies today are looking to reduce costs by outsourcing non-core competencies. Prorizon offers the same features and functionality of a full-fledged in-house procurement solution via an Internet-based service, complete with Procurement Specialists to help your procurement team operate more efficiently.
Why is your service better than running an in-house package or better yet, developing our own solution?
Flexibility! Our service allows you to minimize "total cost" overhead associated with implementing a new solution. There is no hardware, software, maintenance/upgrades, IT staff administration, extended training or education needed in order to run our solution. Plus we can be up and running within weeks, not months.
Isn't Prorizon just another ASP (Application Service Provider) model?
The answer is "No." Although we do incorporate features of an ASP model (outsourced hosting), we provide a much more robust approach. We combine our technology with expert specialists who help to manage the purchasing process for your company. ASP's simply house your solution off site.
Doesn't your offering mean I have to terminate jobs?
The answer again is "No." Utilizing our service does not have to equal staff reductions in the purchasing department. We help improve the efficiency of your purchasing staff. Your staff may then be used to focus on the more important part of procurement - negotiating pricing structures, issuing RFP's, improving terms and conditions from vendors.
What type of platform does your system run on?
The beauty of our service approach is that we are technology independent. The only requirement you have as a customer is the ability to access the Internet. There is no hardware or database software to purchase/maintain/upgrade/admin. We handle all of that for you so you don't have to.
How long is your implementation?
Depending on your specified configurations the system can be implemented as quickly as 30 - 90 days.
How do I know if my company could benefit from a procurement service?
If your company needs CAVS (Control, Accountability, Visibility, Standardization) today not tomorrow, you should speak with Prorizon.
How much cost savings can I expect to see with your service offering after 1 year?
Our customers have a track record of seeing a net ROI in less than 12 months. One recent customer reported they netted more than $1.4 million in hard dollars savings and another $200,000 is soft costs within the first year.
Who are some of your current customers?
ING Investment Management, ChoicePoint, Nortel Networks, Computer Sciences Corporation.
Your customers are large, Fortune 500-size companies. How does your solution relate to a mid to small size company?
The same way - reduce costs by streamlining your procurement process. As long as your company is creating at least 100 purchasing transactions a month or more, we can show the same percentage savings as we show the big guys.
Does Prorizon have "vertical" solutions?
Prorizon's services are applicable for all companies in all industries. The solutions intelligently map to your business operations. Therefore the flexibility provides value across the enterprise both nationally and globally.
We are currently using SAP/Oracle/JDE/Baan/PeopleSoft/Other ERP and are looking at their procurement module. Why would we look at another 3rd party when we could have one vendor do it all?
Prorizon can rapidly deploy its robust solution enterprise wide in 30-45 days verses a typical ERP 6-9 month implementation. The Comm-Plete system can interface simply with any one of the major ERP solutions or accounting packages, plus our solution is unbeatable in terms of Total Cost of Ownership.
We currently use an ERP system. Why would I need Prorizon?
Our customers quite often utilize ERP systems. However, there are inherent gaps in these large systems when it comes to tying order processing, fulfillment, asset receipt and asset management together. Prorizon snaps into these systems as a "punch out" vendor to actively manage these processes and "fill-in-the-gaps".
