What do you like best about Varis?

The vast assortment of available and recognizable retailers from which to shop from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Provides a user friendly purchasing platform for small and large companies/organizations alike. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Varis solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to secure needed classroom essentials and materials with district provided funds without have to actually leave the classroom. One of the realized benefits was the fact that I was not charged sales tax or shipping fees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What is Varis?

Users have a one-stop shopping experience with one search and one shopping cart to find everything they need.

Product Description

Varis (formerly BuyerQuest) is consumer-like procurement technology with a marketplace of trusted suppliers, driving hard cost-savings and employee productivity. Partners and customers can create curated marketplaces that include their existing contracts as well as pre-negotiated contracts across complementary categories that aren’t currently being managed. Users have a one-stop shopping experience with one search and one shopping cart to find everything they need. Varis also helps organizations digitize and automate processes to increase finance and procurement efficiency. Despite this robust functionality, Varis can be implemented in a matter of weeks with little IT overhead or ongoing administration.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Varis is reimagining procurement to change the way buyers and sellers connect, contract, and transact, making it simpler, less expensive, and more relationship based. It is easier to use and easier to implement than typical enterprise-class procurement solutions. Our technology not only enables individual organizations, but also empowers our partner community to build marketplaces to serve the needs of complementary technology users, association members, and customers.

Varis helps organizations manage a broader range of indirect spending categories by offering pre-negotiated contracts with nationally accredited high-quality vendors. These vendors are carefully selected to provide category coverage, meet SLAs for customer service, and provide options for diverse suppliers. Public sector organizations can also easily access sharable contracts competitively bid by lead public agencies.

What do you like best about Varis?

The dashboard helps to keep all your actions visible. There are even alerts sent to your email that allow you to take action, even from your mobile device. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varis?

Sometimes there isn't enough description of products. This may be due to our sourcing partners, but it would be better to require a more detailed description along with photos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Varis solving and how is that benefiting you?

BuyerQuest keeps you up to date with your spending and budgeting as well as requests and invoices all just a click away. My team no longer has to email, text or call me about approvals or requests. I get notifications directly from BuyerQuest and can complete tasks directly from the email. It even works well on my iPhone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Varis?

Its simple to search across the different suppliers and find exactly what I need - because everything is loaded in the same shopping experience, I don't have to jump to other supplier websites to compare pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varis?

We are still integrated to Ariba, so getting approvals is still an issue because our managers hate working within Ariba. Hoping that they will rollout BuyerQuest completely and eliminate our need to start the requisition within Ariba. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Varis solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have gotten rid of a bunch of punch out connections for suppliers, making it much easier to compare prices across different vendors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
