“Since centralization and implementation of Bellwether Purchasing Software, employees cannot simply buy what they want. Now they are more informed. We have tools. We have better contract com- pliance, and we know what we spend. Bellwether Purchasing Software is a small investment, considering the ROI. A small financial investment upfront pays for itself many times over in the long run.”

Louis Nicolosi,

“When we implemented Bellwether Purchasing Software, the first thing we realized was a huge time savings. It cut our processing time in half. For example, the Lawson purchasing package required 12-15 clicks to get a printout of a PO. PMX requires 2 clicks. With 30-40 thousand purchase orders per year, the time savings were very significant. JNL first purchased Bellwether as a stand-alone system, but when new programmers came on board, they recommended that we upgrade to the new version. I don’t know how we functioned before Bellwether Purchasing Software."

Lynn Arnston,
Jackson National Life Company

"We use the Purchasing module a great deal as we generate a lot of ongoing purchase orders. The blanket PO is great, and the ability to track PO’s really helps. Now, I can put releases against a blanket PO and generate a concise, accurate report that accesses the history of the PO and supplies all the information that I need. The Requisitions module and the Receiving modules are also excellent and easy to use. The reports and historical records that all of the modules generate are invaluable tools for our organization."

Lee Lee Raley,
St. Mary's County Metropolitan Commission

"With a number of regional operating facilities our previous PMX setup required working through a remote setup. This was incredibly slow and we were limited to the number of users that could be logged in at a given time. New Bellwether Purchasing Software has increased our productivity and given us greater flexibility with writing purchase orders and preparing RFQs. We don't take full advantage of all the Bellwether features but what we do use has been bettered dramatcially."

Adrian Domek,
Natgun Tank Corporation (Manufacturing)

"We have been pleased with Bellwether Purchasing Software and are in the process of upgrading our current version to the newest version. With the new version, we won’t have to be dependent on local network reliability and traffic, and we will be able to use Bellwether Report Writer for all kinds of special reports. Also, as we grow, we have more Bellwether users. Currently, we have about 200 employees that use the Bellwether system, so the higher-octane version of Bellwether will allow us to process large amounts of data in a more efficient and timely manner. For the future, we may look at integrating Bellwether Purchasing with our accounting software, which Lawson provides.”

Tammy Vogel,

“Because we are a state-funded college, we are required to conduct business in a certain way. For instance, we are required to bid out all goods and services. We have many repetitious items from year to year, so the material file, which contains all those items and their descriptions, really cuts down on the amount of work required to put a bid together. Everything is already set up, so the bidding process is greatly simplified and the time involved is minimal. The reporting capability of Bellwether Purchasing Software is also a great benefit for us because we have to submit reports regularly to the State of Idaho; for example, the activity report is generated monthly for the State."

Sandi Dingman,
Eastern Idaho Technical College

Timothy Allen,

"This (Software as a Service, SaaS) perhaps provides one of the most compelling reasons to investigate the Bellwether offering more than the posted accolades from satisfied clients, or the well thought-out and detailed solution specifications provided in their decision-support material. Specifically, and even more so than their enduring (albeit humble) market presence, is that they recognized a trend 30 years ago and acted upon it… … And while the majority of vendors (both large and small) are all heralding their versions of this “new” pricing structure (for SaaS), Bellwether is not rushing to jump on the bandwagon. The reason of course is quite simple, they built the bandwagon."

Jon Hansen,
Purchasing Insignts
