Cirroc connects and integrates several functions directly involved in the purchasing process, such as: user functions, finance functions, legal functions, management and suppliers. Cirroc will automate the review and / or approval process of documents from one function to another, so that the process is faster with minimal human error factors. The processes currently supported by Cirroc include:

• Request Process: request process initiated by user to purchasing group to conduct the purchase process.
• Purchase Process: any activity during procuring process that requires involvement from parties other than the purchasing group.
• Agreement Process: any activity during agreement building that requires involvement from parties other than the purchasing group.
• Order Release Process: any activity releasing orders from a contract that requires involvement from parties other than purchasing group.
• Close Out Contract Process: perform close out contract mechanism to capture performance data and avoid accidental invoice payment.

With an automated system, all data related to the purchasing process is stored in an electronic database. This data is processed to become useful information for the purchasing group and the company. The outputs produced by Cirroc are:

• Document Drafts: documents with a standard format style. The outputs are produced in a word or number processing documents and is easy to export to another software for edits and customization.
• Reports: reports provided by Cirroc in a standard form produced in a pdf format.
• Controllers: interactive tables or charts generated directly from the database.

Cirroc will create useful charts and tables directly from the database. They are extremely useful when conducting analysis or planning a strategy. Typical charts and tables include contract budget utilization, amendments workload monitoring, tender process duration, order release status, expenditures and many more. A noted feature is the ability to analyze and review supplier capability and performance.

The process of communication with the suppliers is conducted electronically in order to ensure that all communication is effective and traceable for a smoother agreement execution. Processes that can be done through Cirroc are:

• Supplier Online Registration.
• Tender announcement, made directly to the supplier's account.
