Procurement Management
Procurement Management With Excel or Google Sheets
Helping Project Teams
Collate & analyze vendor data more efficiently whilst keeping control of your files. Manage access, track and review changes, collaborate and communicate on top of your existing spreadsheets.
The Challenge of Using Spreadsheets for Managing Procurement
Consolidating RFx using spreadsheets adds up to the already complex task of communicating with all sorts of providers.
Layer helps companies move beyond email and manual consolidation into safely granting providers access to specific input ranges of your procurement spreadsheets and engaging with them without leaving your spreadsheet.
Without layer
Consolidation is time consuming.
Consolidating RFx responses in a single file takes time and can lead to errors with manual copy-pasting.
With layer
Automatic consolidation with a click of a button.
Send out dedicated spreadsheet RFx and automatically merge offers into a single file.
Without layer
Endless email threads generate confusion and the chance to copy the wrong data.
Sending Excel files by email as attachments and handling communication via email can be a pain when the time comes to review all proposals.
With layer
Keep all communication inside your spreadsheet.
Manage data submissions and back-and-forth communication all from one place without leaving Layer—No need for lengthy, tedious email threads.
