Own Your Supply Chain Management (SCM) Marketplace Platform

========================================================
An Ariadne Capital portfolio company wishes to sell its entire investment in software, documentation, and intellectual property rights for a sophisticated private market place/supply chain management automation platform called Procure Plus.
 
For the right acquiring party, this is an opportunity to solve delays and costs of inefficient supply chain management, and accelerate ROI from supply chain management activities, with a complete and comprehensive platform including 100% of intellectual property rights, at a highly competitive cost to current supply chain management costs.

This platform enables your organisation to create an internet based marketplace for your suppliers to conduct business with you in a very cost effective, fast way, lowering your overall cost of procurement management. If you are a Group company or association, you can allow many organisations with many different catalogues, products and services, and electronic payment methods to bid, buy, and sell using your own Marketplace platform.

What is Unique

Because the software development of Procure Plus has taken place in India, the cost of acquiring 100% of the ownership of the software rights will be less expensive than implementing one copy of a well known US procurement platform - without the annual 20% software “maintenance” charges! The owner has full, unfettered rights to reproduce, and resell the platform as often as he wishes.

Benefits

If you are already using a third party to handle procurement site activities, with Procure plus, you may be able to have 100% ownership of all software rights, for an expensed cost less than what you may be paying today in usage fees to an application service provider based procurement marketplace.

Owning 100% of the software rights gives you total control and flexibility to have your Procurement/marketplace platform work precisely the way you want, and at some point in the future, you may wish to sell it, or spin it off into a separate business venture. You may choose to continue future development of Procure Plus with your in-house resources, or utilise the developers of Procure Plus at very cost effective rates.
If you are actively engaged in improving the management of your supply chain through secure internet activities, this may represent an opportunity to deliver a fully featured service much more quickly than you thought possible, at a completed cost much less than you thought possible, while maintaining 100% ownership and control of the entire software functionality.

If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, an email note with a contact name, email address, and daytime telephone number is sufficient to register your interest. Please email your indication of interest to agnes@ariadnecapital.com or david@ariadnecapital.com and Ariadne Capital will arrange for further details to be provided to you.
