Split between network and email

If It’s Not in Ariba, It Doesn’t Exist. but Work Still Happens Outside It.

Ariba works well if everything goes through the network and suppliers actively use the platform. The reality is that a lot of communication still happens outside of it, in emails and documents.

Axya captures that missing part. We extract data directly from supplier communication and sync it into your ERP automatically. So even when work happens outside the system, you still get accurate data and full visibility without chasing suppliers.

Compare Axya with Your Other Platforms

Most procurement tools try to structure everything inside their system. The problem is that real work still happens outside, in emails, PDFs, and supplier conversations. That creates a gap between what’s in your ERP and what’s actually happening.

What Our Users Say

The Axya platform saves us a lot of time when it comes to bid follow-up. It's easy to add relevant information, drawings and so on to the subcontractors and notify them all at the same time, which saves a lot of e-mail exchanges. What's more, the fact that the bids are put into an Excel file makes it much easier to award contracts. Our purchasing team saved time and gained better visibility of all our requests.

Alexandre Loignon

Operations Manager

Axya helped us grow our business. We do not have a lot of time to do business development. This is where Axya comes in!

David Lefebvre

Co-Owner, Mechanical Engineer

The Axya platform has significantly helped us improve our bidding process. Given our organization's high turnover rate, it was very easy to lose track of our bidding processes through endless email chains, and we struggled to find suppliers that were suitable for our needs.

Joey S.

Technical Specialist

Great discovery! The quote requests made it much easier for us to process them. In just a few clicks I had all the information I needed to make a decision. The platform is very easy to use. The technical team supports us throughout the process and listens to our needs.

Kathy C.

Strategic Buyer

As OSI is a company focused on innovation in both its products and operations, we are constantly on the lookout for partners who share our vision. We needed to automate and develop our supplier network, and Axya helped us achieve this. The ease of implementation and communication with their platform, as well as their technical support, enabled us to integrate this solution easily and in record time.

Frederic Maheux

Ops & Products Dev. Director

Perfect tool to find and manage a large group of suppliers! We used the Axya directory to find new local partners for specific parts that we needed. Those parts were critical, and we wanted suppliers with specific certifications. Their customer support team was really helpful in finding the suppliers that we were looking for at first and now we are fully autonomous with the tool.

Ramee Mossa

CEO

Dynamic platform created by dynamic people! What do I like best about Axya? The ease of use and access, the availability of team, the quick and comprehensive feedback on tenders/proposal, and the constant improvement.

Philippe G.

Admin. Director

I noticed a marked reduction in the number of non-value added tasks and the information is centralized in one page.
