Adapting Supply Chain Best Practices for Education

Antiquated enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems struggle to provide the level of supply chain data integration, sophistication, and usability that large, modern institutions require. They also don’t empower your staff to make the most ideal sourcing and contracting decisions for your institution as a whole.

Upending this status quo and aligning your people, processes, and technology is challenging when changes can’t always be mandated from the top down. To truly evolve your supply chain and align individual departments with institutional spending goals, you need to implement a solution that’s versatile enough to meet the requirements of an ever changing diverse user base and compelling enough to inspire a grass-roots change.

The supply chain experts at RiseNow have experience working hand-in-hand with educational institutions and acting as agents of transformation. Our approach aims to align people, processes, and technology with overarching institutional objectives to catalyze change from the ground up. We’ll work to understand your staff’s unique needs and challenges, identify gaps in your current processes, and determine what tools are required to transform the way your entire organization makes sourcing decisions and maximize available resources. By implementing, configuring and optimizing your technology in a way that encourages adoption and promotes adherence to supply chain best practices, we’ll help you create a foundation for long-term growth.
