The states of Jersey have awarded Wax Digital a contract to implement procurement software within the public sector.

The contract will see Wax Digital supply its web3 Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) procurement software solution, which is designed to enable more efficient purchasing and improved supplier management and also provide increased visibility of public expenditure.

Wax Digital web3 will be used by up to 2,000 of the States of Jersey’s employees to improve purchasing across all ten of the States’ departments including Education, Health, Social Services and Home Affairs.

The software is to be integrated with the States’ existing accounting software to facilitate the payment of over 3,500 invoices a week.

Director of Strategic Procurement, States of Jersey, Caroline Hastings, commented: “We are very excited about working with Wax Digital to make further improvements to our procurement system. This is a major project for the States of Jersey and the ease-of-use of web3 was a key factor in us choosing Wax Digital as it will mean that people using the system will be able to make purchasing efficiencies from the outset.

Many of the people who will be using the new software have already been involved in a number of workshops led by Wax Digital to ensure all our requirements are met.”

Business development director, Wax Digital, Daniel Ball, added: “We are absolutely delighted that we will be working with the States of Jersey to help them achieve further efficiencies and savings using web3. The software offers complete transparency throughout the purchase-to-pay process and will integrate with its existing software systems.”
