The buy side applications that CommerceZone offers are:

VortalBuy provides an internet based procurement system that employees can use to create, manage, and track their own orders while the procurement or finance department retains central control. The system ensures policies and preferred suppliers and pricing agreements are adhered to.

The streamlined ordering system helps increase productivity and control  while helping eliminate errors made when paper ordering processes are followed. Policies can be enforced with unprecedented control and procurement costs can be lowered by cutting  transaction overheads, controlling maverick spend, and having preferred supplier agreements maximized.

The VortalBuy Invoice Module is a web-based application that helps the creditors department to match invoices, purchase orders and goods receipts.  In order to do the 3-way matching, all three documents must be on VortalBuy.  The purchase order (PO) is generated on VortalBuy, and the goods are received against the  applicable PO on the VortalBuy system.  When the invoice is received, it is captured on VortalBuy through the invoicing module. Once this is done, the invoice, purchase order and good receipt can be matched.  A matched invoice can be integrated to accounts payable in the financial system as an invoice to pay,  thus completing the Purchase-to-Pay process.

The Vortal reporting tool has been created to support reporting requirements a client may have. Admin reports, Spend, Savings and Preferential Procurement reports can be generated. The tool has been created to handle different viewing rights for users so that only the data a selected user may view is displayed for that user.
