Abstract

Systems and methods for a procurement system are provided. Additionally, computer-implemented methods for controlling procurement of sanctioned vehicle parts are provided. These methods may include associating one or more sanctioned vehicle parts with a specific vehicle in a fleet using a unique vehicle identification number, receiving a request for information associated with one or more sanctioned vehicle parts for the specific vehicle, and providing one or more sanctioned vehicle parts.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method for controlling procurement of sanctioned vehicle parts comprising:

associating one or more sanctioned vehicle parts with a specific vehicle in a fleet using a unique vehicle identification number;

receiving a request for information associated with one or more sanctioned vehicle parts for the specific vehicle; and

providing one or more sanctioned vehicle parts.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein receiving a request for information further comprises receiving the unique vehicle identification number.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein providing one or more sanctioned vehicle parts further comprises receiving a purchase order.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising establishing a relationship with one or more repair shops, one or more fleet companies, and one or more pan supplier vendors.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein information associated with one or more sanctioned vehicle parts comprises vehicle part information.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising receiving pre-negotiated price data.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein receiving pre-negotiated price data further comprises receiving pre-negotiated price data associated with one or more exact vehicle parts.

8. The method of claim 6, wherein receiving pre-negotiated price data further comprises receiving pre-negotiated price data associated with one or more alternative vehicle parts.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing one or more non-sanctioned vehicle parts.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein one or more non-sanctioned vehicle parts comprises vehicles parts that are not associated with pre-negotiated price data.

11. A system for controlling procurement of sanctioned vehicle parts comprising;

a database module to associate one or more sanctioned vehicle parts with a specific vehicle in a fleet using a unique vehicle identification number;

a vehicle part module to receive a request for information associated with the one or more sanctioned vehicle parts for the specific vehicle; and

a purchase order module to provide one or more sanctioned vehicle parts.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the vehicle part module is further configured to receive the unique vehicle identification number.

13. The system of claim 11, wherein the purchase order module is further configured to receive a purchase order.

14. The system of claim 11, wherein information associated with one or more sanctioned vehicle parts comprises vehicle part information.

15. The system of claim 11, wherein the database module is further configured to receive pre-negotiated price data.

16. The system of claim 15, wherein pre-negotiated price data is associated with one or more exact vehicle parts.

17. The system of claim 15, wherein pre-negotiated price data is associated with one or more alternative vehicle parts.

18. The system of claim 11, wherein the purchase order module is further configured to provide one or more non-sanctioned vehicle parts.

19. The system of claim 18, wherein one or more non-sanctioned vehicle parts comprises vehicle parts that are not associated with pre-negotiated price data.

20. A computer-implemented method for controlling procurement of sanctioned vehicle parts comprising:

establishing a relationship with one or more repair shops, one or more fleet companies, and one or more part supplier vendors;

associating one or more sanctioned vehicle parts with a specific vehicle in a fleet using a unique vehicle identification number;

receiving a request for information associated with one or more sanctioned vehicle parts for the specific vehicle; and

providing one or more sanctioned vehicle parts.
