Requirements Intelligence
Produce great requirements, every time
Our requirements intelligence solution combines guided workflows, real procurement knowledge, and your context; giving you the capability to produce great requirements for every procurement.
Why requirements matter
Requirements shape everything that follows, from sourcing through to delivery. A weakness here is carried through the whole procurement, and the value it erodes is rarely won back.
How it works
From first need to signed-off requirements
Needs identification
Start from a concrete baseline rather than a blank page, with built-in templates and guidance.
Stakeholder consultation
Gather and reconcile views from across the organisation in one place.
Specification definition
Generate a contextually-relevant draft in minutes, refine it as you go, and use Cadrana to flag the most important gaps.
Market analysis
Develop requests for information (RFI) which focus on the biggest obstacles for procurement success, and use Cadrana to understand what suppliers are telling you.
Approval and sign-off
Approvers receive a contextualised briefing, with a clear view of how the decision was reached.
Behind every step is the Cadrana Judgement Engine
Ensuring that outcomes are recorded, decisions are traceable and recommendations are grounded in real expertise.
Before and after
What changes with Cadrana
Traceability
Before Cadrana
The reasoning behind a requirement is rarely recorded and is often held by individuals or scattered across correspondence.
With Cadrana
The reasoning behind each requirement is recorded and can be traced to its source.
Consistency
Before Cadrana
Quality varies with who is involved and how much time they have.
With Cadrana
The same standard is applied to every document, whoever is drafting.
Rework
Before Cadrana
Problems in the requirements surface late, during sourcing or delivery, when they are costly to fix.
With Cadrana
Gaps are flagged before procurement starts, when they are cheapest to fix.
Knowledge
Before Cadrana
Lessons are lost when people move on, so teams start from scratch each time.
With Cadrana
Outcomes are captured, so learning stays in the organisation and improves future decisions.
Capability
Before Cadrana
Teams learn on the job, and expertise stays with a few individuals.
With Cadrana
Users are guided at every step, building capability as they work.
