The University is currently working on launching a new, easy-to-use online eProcurement portal. The new portal — called Source360 —will modernize and improve the way we all make work-related purchases.
With the introduction of Source360, we will be able to, among other things:
- Leverage the collective purchasing power to negotiate with vendors to buy what we need, but pay less for it—from the smallest items such as pens and pencils and cleaning supplies, to computers and sophisticated lab and research equipment; and,
- More easily and efficiently place orders for—and review and approve the purchase of—all goods and services, eliminating manual processes for requisitioning, vendor payment and reimbursement;
Source360 will transform how we procure goods and services, transitioning from OneCards (except for travel) and Direct Pays to a more efficient and effective purchasing process. Source360 will provide easy access through an Amazon-like shopping experience to our top suppliers, including those for office, scientific, technology and MRO (maintenance, repair and operations) supplies.
Source360 is a self-service online marketplace, which provides a faster and more efficient method for faculty and staff to shop, approve, and purchase goods and services. It will ultimately improve the way work-related purchases are made with quick and simple access to contracted and negotiated prices from online catalogs including:
- Amazon
- Grainger
- Staples
- Lowe's
- Many more
The Source360 solution is designed to improve system-wide procurement business processes and utilizes financial resources more effectively and efficiently by providing:
- Paperless transactions
- Simple forms to request payments
- Online order approvals with real-time visibility
- Vendor self-service
We are currently developing our FAQs section based on campus feedback. If you have any questions about Source360, please email them to [email protected].
