Ensolva manages everything that we have been doing manually trough emails and via excel. All bids that we conduct can be processed trough projects in Ensolva.

Registration process sometimes confuses suppliers. But these are mainly users who have low experience with information technologies.

From personal experience, Ensolva covers the procurement process from start to finish, ie the flow of data from their entry on request, publication of tenders to the collection of bids and contracts. Suppliers like the most that the bidding process is transparent and that it gives them a sense of security and confidence that everyone has an equal opportunity. We have increased the number of suppliers in the database, and we are also recording an increase in foreign suppliers to whom the system has facilitated communication and availability to us as their customer.

Ensolva has improved our procurement at its core: data that is available at all times. It placed the procurement process in the system, connected all its stakeholders and enabled us to communicate without parallel records, and control over the procurement process is excellent (sending notifications, collecting bids, analysis, easier access to audit, defined responsibilities, monitoring KPIs, transparency, analysis from the system, monitoring how much someone was in charge of certain activities). ” It has successfully integrated with SAP.

The only thing I didn’t like was the start and skepticism when switching from one IS system to another. I would say it was more a fear of moving on. With each passing day of integration, that skepticism was lost.

This software enables transparency in purchasing tenders

it is slow and not covering all our needs

As a contracting authority and obliged to implement the National public Procurement Act, in the last 10 years I have been searching for a digital procurement management platform that could facilitate, speed up and administratively reduce the entire procurement process in the organisation, while respecting the principle of transparency.I had a vision that the software should help not only procurement personnel but also all stakeholders involved in procurement processes in the organisation.For example such software should automatically assign the procurement request to the manager in charge for approval based on predefined parameters (organisation hierarchy, request type, reason, etc.). The approval process should be simple, just a click to the appropriate option like Allowed/Not Allowed. The manager should be able to find and access all the details related to the request to facilitate and simplify his approval decision. I always wanted a tool that would help the procurement team to have a real time overview of all procurement processes to allow them to have better control over the spending of the planned budget in the procurement plan. I wanted that the procedure of issuing orders can be accelerated with ONE click, that the realization of issued purchase orders can be monitored, that e-auctions can be conducted, that administration can be reduced, that we can monitor and control the consumption in order to achieve additional savings. All this has Ensolva and much more!

The advantage of Ensolva as a procurement management platform is that it fully adaptale to users’ needs , which means that the user does not need to change its organization internal processes and procurement procedures in order to adapt to software mode. This allows users to easily switch from manual (paper) mode to digital. This is a “measure-by-measure” system for users.

I can't single out anything special for now. The system is an excellent tool for procuring professionals and will have to adapt to new procurement trends that change over time. The software can be used by obliged entities and non-entities of public procurement laws and in all markets and countries.

Ensolva still needs to do some coding to allow financial tracking of the money spent from procurement procedures that have been succesfully finished in Ensolva, which to my understanding as a user, they will be doing. Communication with suppliers could be more logic, but still works ok.

All procedures are in one place which allows user administrators to quickly and easily access all data related to certain procurement procedure, either finished or undergoing, whenever needed. Order forms are also quickly and easily accessible and can be sorted by supplier, buyer and so on. General use of the software is more or less same as in other software of that sort.

Some procedure logic needs to be fixed. From a public procured point of view this software seems to be more inteded for use in private procurement due to less strict procedures in that sort of procurement. The suppliers have to register to the software in orded to make their offer for an undergoing procurement, which can be tricky with suppliers who are not a tech savvy, so to say, and buyers cannot send invitation to participate in competing to suppliers who are not registered.

The system has fully digitized our business processes, accelerated procurement processes and minimized paper consumption. It has increased efficiency in daily work

The product is very easy to use, reviewed and easily adaptable to our internal procedures. It is visually interesting and with its visual solutions it actually facilitates and speeds up processes (eg different colors for different item statuses, etc.) The ability to use the approval of requests / purchase orders on a mobile phone has greatly accelerated our internal procedures. And using this system has kept paper costs to a minimum. The system enables maximum digitalization of the system, the status and movement history of each individual request can be checked at any time.

All possible difficulties are eliminated in cooperation with the customer service as soon as possible

Overall experience with Ensolva is very good. The RIS team is very helpful, always looking to upgrade Ensolva, listening to our request and we in Municipality of Koprivnica are looking forward to work on new projects in future.

User friendly interface, oversee and supervise all requests, procedures and contracts, easily to pinpoint where are we with request/procedures/contracts, getting all information in excel format and very useful feature like analysis and reports. Ensolva is next step to complete digitalization of our business.

Big con is not integrating with our accounting programs where we could see how much is budget plan when we are opening new request/contract, also we should have feature when the request/contract is approved then automatically reserved funds in budget, link invoices with existing request/contracts so we can easily supervise how much funds of chosen request/contracts we have spent... 

Using for Procurement process and collecting bidds.

Easy to use, Very good support, simply to learn how to use.... Etc

Sometimes SW frequently lost connection and you need to login few times in a short period, but this is probably not in connection with SW but with the net.

Regulated data base of contacted suppliers, issued projects, received offers, offer analysis. Unified and shortened steps of the tendering process. Enabeled control of the process.

It contributes to transparency and control of the RfP process. Unifies steps of offers receipt. Reduces time spent in personal negotiations with suppliers.

I have no significant remarks. Delivers most required features, needed in the process of RfP receipts.

As said above, my company is being run by controlling and finance and they are using ensolva for controlling - which is not what it was designed for. the way it was customized for my company at the request of my company makes it less intuitive. Other than that it's a good tool.

Support from RIS. I am a new user and often get stuck, support is phenomenal tho, which makes it easier

the way my company implemented it is stupidest ever - they connected it to SAP which makes it really hard to administrate. I believe it could be much more intuitive if it weren't for the way it was customized for my company.

I use ensolva from the supplier's angle and submitting the offer is extremely intuitive. I also participate in the implementation of the system for other companies and I can say that Ensolva fits perfectly into the business processes of any domain (insurance, banks, hospitality, public administration, food industry, health, etc.)

I would highlight these features: fully digitized procurement process, intuitive user interface, customizable process for each company, expense reduction, saving time. I would especially commend the analytical part of the Ensolva system.

I have nothing to list here, everything is great

All involved parties can have an insight into the project and that is time-saving and effecient

The information flow and transparency is a desirable aspect in our job and when the software is integrated it allows that all the involved parties have a insight in the info available.

User has to have a deep knowledge about the software to use it's potential. Need to spend time for education and some experience to be able to get most of it out.

Reduce negotiation with suppliers The database is always available

Reduces time spent in personal negotiations with suppliers representatives. Formes database for our future use.

All is well. But, sometimes software is too slow. Conversation with suppliers in RFx is not signalized by an email.

To have everything in one place and no possibility to skip steps in process

Logging in issues especially when different role is used

Very good functional software. Facilitates procedures and daily tasks.

Nothing significant. Small problems with integration of other applications.

Automatic analysis, Transparency in collecting offers

Not being able to log in occasionally.

As I said, I am a fresh user and dont have much of expirience with Ensolva, but I expect in the future it will ease my work assignments.

I am very fresh user, but I like most the thing that I can have all my projects at one place with all documents and offers.

In my opinion, its interface is a little bit complicated.

Excellent modules of procedures and purchase order. No unnecessary paperwork. Everything available in a few clicks. Speed of work, transparency and everything in one place.

Great visibility, easy to use and good information and advanced system.

Too much data on the screen and tiny icons.

Transarancy

Everything in one place and one can lookup old projects to see the development. The superiors can look into it whenever there is a need.

The user has to have a good knowledge of the tool to be able use it, but the support from the provider is very good.t possible.

Supplier database with a lot of Croatian registered suppliers

More suitable for public procurement than private procurement

It is convenient for inquiries and tenders with a small number of items and with a clear product specification. We are doing auctions on commodities, and it turned out well.

There is a lot of space for improvement and development for tendering complex queries with a lot of items and a lot of bidders, and for project procurement.

Very good

Lots of features. Good supplier base, clear work history overview.

It could maybe be more user friendly and easier to use.

Ensolva is a well-conceived program, but it is not necessary in my job for now

This software makes my job more difficult as a civil servant, as it is another in a series of programs that do not benefit me, but make it easier for colleagues in accounting and finance.

I have no complaints except that I work with him relatively rarely, ie there is no continuity, so I have to contact support frequently

The sistem very quickly solve and unificate process.

My feedback is based on may own experience. It is Intelligibility and simplicity.

My experience at the beginnig vas a little confusing, but quicklyi came solutions and after several use, everyting vas much easier.
