IFCA SoftwareTM for Group Purchasing
Empowering Collaboration, Community & Commerce
IFCA SoftwareTM offers a complete solution for your enterprise purchases fully integrated seamlessly with the other modules within its suite of enterprise software to ensure data integrity and enhance efficiency.

IFCA SoftwareTM For Enterprise Purchasing allows you to collate your entire enterprise-wide purchases within a centralized entity. The Suppliers’ Portal enables prospective suppliers to register, from which you can evaluate and appoint the qualified suppliers. "Request-For-Quotation" (RFQ) can be posted on the portal and invite qualified suppliers to quote. Comparison of prices can be streamlined and Purchase Order can be awarded to the shortlisted supplier with the most competitive price.

All of these are achievable with our state of the art technology and comprehensive workflow engine built within the system. Tracking of all goods received, either in full or partially, good returns, uninterrupted data-flow to accounting for matching purposes and monitoring payments to suppliers. Purchases on-behalf of sub-contractors is possible and the system automatically checks for deductions from the sub-contractor’s submitted claims to prevent over-payments. Every purchase order raised and goods not received will be tracked as “committed cost” and deducted from the balance to spend to ensure spending within budget.
