Excellent eSourcing capabilities
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates Workday Strategic Sourcing from other similar products?
Scout RFP has powerful and intuitive eSourcing (RFx) capabilities that allows companies to run events quickly, by just importing line items on one hand, or provide full end-to-end integration with Workday and other ERPs on the other hand. We successfully ran a large RFPs with 1,000 line items and 70 suppliers quickly, efficiently, without any issues. The customer service team was very helpful in assisting setting up the RFPs properly and helping us get the information from the application in the manner we wanted it for evaluation.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The capabilities of the RFx module, supplier Q&A and export features into Excel.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The integration into Workday has made the ability to use a more limited subset of the product more difficult and pricing has increased substantially.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Review the new minimum service requirements and price points now that it's integrated into Workday.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
