Procurement made simple

Just because software is powerful does not mean it must be complicated.

Procurement is complex. Procurement software should not be complex. Lifecycle is a simple and powerful enterprise purchasing application allowing corporate and government staff to easily manage the buying process.

Presentation ready reporting

Procurement data in real time.

Our reports provide management with deep insight into their budget and contract values, benefits tracking, categories and buyer effectiveness. Reports are designed for use in live presentations without staff having to waste time developing PowerPoint slides. Lifecycle charts are clean and bright and easy to understand.

Decisive Procurement strategies

Choose the right Procurement strategy.

Procurement strategies are not well understood, even within purchasing. Lifecycle has distinct business rules for each strategy and maintains that strategy's integrity through the job process. The application will work seamlessly with your organisation’s Procurement policy.

Effective document management

Approval, contract and tender documents at your fingertips.

Your key documents are stored by job for easy access. Lifecycle has a practical approval-gathering process to reduce the risk of a process progressing with unsigned documents. Lifecycle removes the stress of searching for approvals.

Defensible tenders

Amazingly simple tender management.

Setting up a Lifecycle tender is easy. A wizard guides buyers through each level of tender, from a simple Request for Quote to the most complex multi-service Request for Proposal. The tendering process to establish panels and standing offers is reduced to child's play. Lifecycle features Desktop Evaluation, allowing evaluators to score responses in the privacy of their work station.

Smart contract administration

Agreement management done right.

With Lifecycle’s powerful search engine, contract and variation documents are located in seconds. Email notices are sent to managers about impending contract exhaustion dates. Depending on Procurement strategy, Lifecycle anticipates how much time is required to replace a supplier without risking a disruption to business continuity.

Security

Lifecycle is secure.

Lifecycle's secure environment complies with Information Security Standard AS/NZS 27001. All documents and data stored in Lifecycle are two-way encypted. With top-level bcrypt hashing, multiple user access levels and job-specific access, Lifecycle is a highly-secure environment in which to store commercially sensitive information.

About

We believe procurement software should be powerful and easy to use.

Lifecycle is different

Lifecycle was built by our small team of Australian corporate and government buyers. We were frustrated with software that was not designed to capture the flexible nature of the buying process. We absolutely love Lifecycle’s simplicity. Lifecycle is the Procurement application for each level of management. Buyers have a tool that powers through simple quotes and makes complex tenders easy to manage. Managers enjoy effective real-time reporting.

Value proposition

Lifecycle is an amazing, simple and intuitive Procurement application. We put each corporate and government purchasing process under a microscope and we enhanced the buying process to speeds unseen in the Procurement world. The application requires little training, even for managers unfamiliar with the Procurement process. Lifecycle determines the approval documents required for each Procurement strategy … and builds a Procurement file for each job!

Minimal configuration

Configuration can be painful and expensive. Extensive configuration points to a lack of design. Lifecycle is a server side application, built from the ground-up to make configuration simple. Using our configuration module, we will have a large corporate client using Lifecycle in 48 hours. And we will do this at no cost to you. Our licensing model is simple and requires little if any administration your side. We have developed a straightforward contract incorporating standard software licensing clauses.
