Customer experience

Giving IT more control, without losing procurement oversight.

City Electrical Factors moved routine technology purchasing from email-based quote requests and manual tracking into the Aura Procurement Portal. Approved users within the IT team can now search, select and order technology directly within agreed purchasing controls. This helps bridge the gap between IT and procurement. Technical requirements are handled closer to the people who understand them, while approval workflows, restricted products and purchasing controls maintain oversight The result is fewer avoidable specification errors, less administrative delay and a faster route to resolving technology requirements and closing support tickets.

Routine requirements can be progressed without waiting for manual quote requests and email chains.

Better technical decisions

IT teams can select appropriate technology directly, reducing specification errors and unnecessary back-and-forth.

Procurement stays in control
