Bring Structure and Visibility to Your Manufacturing Procurement.
NexaSource | Procurement & Vendor Ecosystem
From Purchase Indents and RFQs to Purchase Orders and Supplier Performance.
Manufacturing procurement involves more than purchasing materials. It requires organising purchase requirements, requesting quotations, comparing vendors, managing purchase orders, handling purchase returns and reviewing supplier performance.
NexaSource is the procurement and vendor management module of NEXELON AMOS, designed to support these activities within a connected manufacturing environment.
By bringing key procurement workflows into a dedicated module, NexaSource helps manufacturing businesses organise purchasing activities and maintain relevant procurement information.
Organise Purchasing Activities Around Your Manufacturing Requirements.
Manufacturing businesses need to coordinate purchasing requirements with the materials and services needed for their operations. Procurement teams may need to prepare purchase indents, request quotations, compare vendors, issue purchase orders and manage related records.
NexaSource brings these procurement-related capabilities into a dedicated module within NEXELON AMOS.
It is designed to support a more structured approach to purchasing workflows, supplier comparison, procurement approvals, purchase returns and supplier performance review.

Evaluate Vendor Options
Support RFQ management and vendor comparison to organise relevant supplier quotations and information.

Organise Purchase Requirements Before Engaging Suppliers.
Procurement begins with an understanding of what the business needs to purchase. A purchase indent helps structure the purchasing requirement, while RFQ management supports the process of requesting supplier quotations.
NexaSource includes both capabilities to support these activities within the procurement workflow.
- Purchase Indent. Organise purchasing requirements as part of the configured procurement process.
- RFQ Management. Manage requests for quotation and the relevant information associated with supplier quotation requests.
- Procurement Context. Keep purchase requirements and quotation activities within the broader NexaSource environment.
