QUESTIONS

Built around
your procurement team.

What procurement leaders usually ask before a demo. If yours is not here, ask us directly.

01Does Constellio replace our purchasing or ERP system?

No. Your purchasing system handles orders and payments; Constellio manages the documents around them (requests, bids, contracts and supplier records) with workflows, signatures and governance. How the two connect is defined during the project’s technical scoping.

02Can Constellio remind us before a contract renews?

Yes. Contract terms and notice periods can trigger reminders, so the right person is notified before a renewal or an expiry date.

03Can suppliers submit documents directly?

Yes. Controlled sharing lets suppliers view or upload only what concerns them, and every exchange is traced.

04How do we keep supplier compliance documents current?

Certificates and other compliance documents are classified with their validity dates. Constellio shows which ones expire next and can request renewals automatically through a workflow.

05Where should we start?

Most procurement teams start by centralising supplier contracts, then add purchase requests and supplier compliance. Constellio’s migration, governance and support teams can help plan a phased deployment.
