Align requirements without Excel chaos
Requirements live in OakCore, not as excel_v18_FINAL2.xls in your inbox. Versions, approvals, and comments sit on the same spec. You always see what is binding and what is still open.
Requirements, Budget, Approval. All in One Place.
As a sales or purchasing lead, you negotiate requirements, changes, and budgets. OakCore keeps that in one spec instead of Excel attachments, email threads, and second-hand status updates.
Sound familiar?
Which version is actually valid?
Requirements docs, change requests, and approvals live in different files. excel_v18.xls in your inbox is not the same as what engineering is building right now.
Project status at second hand
You get summaries from the PM, not the status itself. Follow-ups take time, and by the time the answer arrives, the content has often changed again.
Change requests without a solid basis
A change sounds small but costs weeks. Without visibility into dependencies and impact, you often decide blind.
What OakCore brings to sales and purchasing
Four typical situations from negotiation, approval, and project steering. Alignment happens in the spec, not in your inbox.
Visibility without bothering engineering
Dashboards and metrics from the live project, configurable for your role. Progress, quality, and open items without sending an email for every question.
The same language as the dev team
Glossary, traceability, and requirements in the graph. You negotiate with the same terms and connections engineering will implement later. Less translation work, fewer misunderstandings.
Evaluate change requests with context
A change request shows immediately what it affects: tests, risks, dependent requirements. Scope and impact are visible before you release budget.
What you get from it
Less alignment overhead
Negotiation and approval happen in the spec, not in endless email threads with attachments.
Faster, clearer approvals
You see who approved what and which version is binding. No guessing on a Friday afternoon.
A stronger negotiating position
You argue with facts from the graph, not with outdated spreadsheets or gut feeling.
Change requests decided on substance
Impact and cost implications are traceable before you sign off, not only after the go.
