Ticon provides the possibility to set up a purchase and sub-contractor budget control. Because this is a permanent budget control, an always up to date insight into the results to achieve on purchase and sub-contracting is available. Budget control can either be part of the project control or can be set up as a separate control.

Based on an estimate, a purchase budget can be composed. The purchase budget is used as the foundation for purchase and contract activities. These can be created using standard contract templates or your own entirely flexible template, to fit your needs. These include delivery sheets, acceptance forms etc.

The extensive functionalities for trend analysis and KPI, will provide – on any organisation level- the correct data to have a clear view on purchase and sub-contracting activities.
