I would like to place on record my deep satissfactionon with the quality of your SCH e-procurement tool. It is well designed , has an easy user interface, integrates well with our ERP and most importantly, is comprehensive with all relevant modules of Supplier management (Supplier inductionon, Supplier Audit Supplier scorecard), E-Sourcing (e-auctions and RFX), CLM (Contract lifecycle management), vendor portal, post-PO operations of ASN, e-invoicing, etc. Also appreciate how DGTL x SCH team were so flexible and available during implementation and configured the tool , trained our team & suppliers and trouble-shooted when issues popped up, to our satisfaction. Your team is humble, approachable and very helpful. I remember how we ran rounds and rounds of validations comparisons over six months and, with other e-Proc tools before finalising with you and as someone who has implemented more than four such different reputed tools in my career span, I can say that SCH is no less in terms of features and user feel
