QStrat QLM Sourcing

The QStrat was designed with three supply chain management products: QLM costing, QLM sourcing and QLM sales, all very flexible systems deployed as Web-based or as on- premise software solutions. The good thing about this platform its built-in number of applications such as supplier management, procurement and strategic sourcing suitable for automotive, life sciences, pharmaceutical, consumer- packaged goods and global trading industries.

Great as the QStart looks to be, it has got its own setbacks, same as other software in its category but since I have nothing to write on that, its advantages far outweigh whatever issues it has. I specifically like the fact that this platform allows business users see every supplier info as well as contracts in a single central repository while routing/ tracking individual RFQs, QUOTE DATA and BOMs.

This platform supports integration with other popular ERPs including Oracle, Infor, SAO and NetSuite. The QLM costing function enables users create detailed BOMS, while data can be exported in XML, and it allows data editing capabilities in other programs. So if you seek a platform suitable for keeping track of complex quotes using old- fashioned spreadsheets, the QStrat is the perfect choice.

QLM is in fact one of the most modern-looking (especially with the cloud system) of this category. Besides simply being attractive on the eye, the feature-set is immense – from quotation lifecycle management, supplier & customer management, spending analysis, RFx workflow to templates and automated reminders. The best way to describe the software is like your own personal assistant for any supplier-distributor relationships.

There is pretty much nothing to dislike about this software! Developed by professionals, what would there even be to dislike?! Well, if there’s anything at all to say as a hint of a criticism it would be the rather complicated purchasing & demo requesting process you have to go for, rather than just having some sort of a preview to the system or at least pricing available more easily. That might be a turn-off for many new clients.

QLM is in all ways very reasonable, professional tool - as far as I can say, the functionality it has is far better than most similar software's, simply because of the extensive capabilities it has. Though the demo requesting process is somewhat slow and could be improved for new users, the software is in the end worth it.
