Oracle NetSuite announced this past Monday, NetSuite SuiteProcurement, a new indirect procurement solution that will help customers track and control every purchase from request to payment and streamline the procurement process. Amazon Business and Staples Business Advantage are the first suppliers to support this solution by offering benefits to SuiteProcurement customers.
