"Procurement has been so much easier since we were introduced to the IAPB Valued Supplier Scheme. In a matter of seconds, we are now able to do budgets for equipment during proposal writing. Secondly, during procurement we are able to compare prices, brands, specs across suppliers and get the ideal product for our setting. Finding the ideal product used to take weeks or even months, but now through a click of a button, we have the information we want." |
