– What is CVSS –

Beyond Procure-to-Pay – A Complete Supplychain Command Centre

Traditional Procure-to-Pay tools stop at the purchase order. CVSS extends that foundation all the way from shop floor demand signals to vendor e-Challans and receipt confirmation.

CVSS — Customer Vendor Self Service — is Softweb’s next-generation Procure-to-Pay platform built for manufacturers, mining companies, and industrial enterprises that need complete visibility across the supply chain.

It bridges your  ERP system, your internal stores and procurement teams, and your supplier network through a single cloud-hosted application with native Android and web portal access.

Every transaction — from a shop floor indent to a vendor e-Challan — is captured, approved, and synced in real time. No spreadsheets. No WhatsApp approvals. No stockouts caused by invisible demand.

End-to-end System Flow

CVSS connects your ERP to a cloud server and exposes two parallel process tracks — one for vendors dispatching materials, one for internal teams raising and approving demand.

Customer Vendor Self Service - CVSS - Upgraded Procure-to-Pay

– Core Features –

Everything Your Procurement Team needs

CVSS delivers the complete feature set your CFO, procurement head, and store managers need — without stitching together five different tools.

ERP-Integrated Requisitions

Shop floor indents are created on mobile and instantly linked to ERP stock data. Real-time availability splits the request into stock issue and purchase indent automatically.

Automated Approval Workflows

Rule-based, multi-level approvals notify the right department head instantly. No more paper forms or email chains — approvers act from their phone.

Vendor Self-Service Portal

Suppliers log in to view outstanding POs, prepare e-Challans digitally, and receive automated GRN confirmations — eliminating back-and-forth calls.

Real-time Stock Visibility

Access item master data, PO outstanding, indent status, inspection backlogs, and delivery schedules — all pulled live from your SAP or ERP system.

Smart Notification Engine

Automatic email and push notifications for every key event: new PO to supplier, e-Challan in transit, goods receipt confirmation, and indent reminders.

Cloud-Hosted, Mobile-Ready

Deployed on cloud with a native Android app for on-the-floor accessibility. Role-based user management ensures the right people see the right data.

Reports & Analytics

Up to 8 company-side reports and 2 vendor-side reports, customised to your operational needs. Know your supply chain state at a glance.

Bidirectional ERP Sync

Approved indents, store issues, and e-Challan data flow back into your inventory management system automatically via web service — no duplicate data entry.

Frequently Asked Questions

CVSS is built on the Procure-to-Pay foundation but extends it significantly. A standard P2P solution covers requisition to payment. CVSS adds real-time ERP stock integration, a vendor self-service portal for e-Challan generation, bidirectional ERP sync, and a smart notification engine — making it a complete supply chain command centre for manufacturers.

Yes. CVSS is designed with SAP integration as a core feature. It exchanges data via web services — pulling PO outstanding, indent status, stock levels, item master, and supplier master from SAP, and pushing back approved indents, store issues, and e-Challan data.CVSS is built on the Procure-to-Pay foundation but extends it significantly. A standard P2P solution covers requisition to payment. CVSS adds real-time ERP stock integration, a vendor self-service portal for e-Challan generation, bidirectional ERP sync, and a smart notification engine — making it a complete supply chain command centre for manufacturers.

Absolutely. The vendor portal is designed for ease of use — suppliers simply log in, check their open orders, and prepare e-Challans with guided forms. No ERP access or training is needed on the vendor’s side.

CVSS is hosted on a cloud server, making it accessible from anywhere via web browser or Android app. This eliminates infrastructure costs and enables multi-vendor, multi-site access without VPN complexity.

Implementation involves system study, development, cloud deployment, and training. Timelines depend on the complexity of your ERP integration and the number of customisations. Our team conducts a full system study and provides a detailed project plan before kick-off.

SAP’s procurement module is powerful but complex and expensive to extend to vendors or shop floor workers. CVSS sits on top of SAP as a lightweight, mobile-friendly layer — giving frontline users and vendors simple, role-specific interfaces without requiring SAP licences or training for every user.
