Varis Overview

What is Varis?

Varis (formerly BuyerQuest) is consumer-like procurement technology with a marketplace of trusted suppliers, driving hard cost-savings and employee productivity.

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?

With all the different suppliers there is an ease of ordering parts in one website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Varis?

You have to be very specific with the name of the item that you are looking for. With technology equipment orders they seem to automatically get sent to NCR and they won't ship anything without a credit card, I prefer to use PAR. We have many McDonalds and it is too easy to order for a wrong store and address. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Often times the specific parts are separated unintentionally to different supplies so any money saved cost more for shipping costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
