GSB , a leader in smart procurement and purchasing solutions, recently introduced 'BravoSolution' to the New Zealand market and has been pleased with its success thus far in delivering clients with a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution for e-Procurement.

The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) recently selected GSB from a number of leading e-procurement providers following a competitive selection process and concluded that the solution met its key procurement objectives,

They are also more transparent and easily audited, and ensure that consistent, best practice procurement is applied. This is the intended direction for all-of-government procurement, and we're happy to be on the forefront of this trend," says Stewart Baillie, the Defence Force's Director of Shared Services.

The solution from GSB was implemented at NZDF in just six weeks, including training around 20 users.
