RSPB

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds is the largest nature conservation charity in the UK; consistently delivering successful conservation, forging powerful new partnerships with other organisations and inspiring others to stand up and give nature the home it deserves.

With many systems on the market the organisation was cautious and wanted a company and software that would understand their requirements around contract management.

Target (developers and product owners of Accord) approached RSPB with their contract management and reporting system, Accord. Accord allows their procurement department to keep on top of their supplier contracts by helping them centrally store and manage their contracts and supplier data, while also making the relevant documents accessible to staff with the appropriate permissions.

Target have worked closely with the organisation to help identify business challenges and create solutions for their requirements around supplier data and contracts management. Through some additional development by Target, the Accord system now includes:

• An integrated active directory to enable single sign-on.
• Supplier updates integrated into Accord to avoid duplication of data.

Dan Satterthwaite, Procurement Manager at RSPB said; “We’ve been looking for a while to find a company we trust into implementing a supplier contract database into the organisation. What we liked about the team at Target was their expertise and their helpful nature; they were able to listen to what we needed, guide us to identify solutions and always on hand to answer our questions.”

“We saw that the Accord contract management system gave the opportunity to make the system our own; the flexibility around its configuration has enabled us to bring the requirements around our supplier data we needed, to life.”
