What is PECOS?
PECOS stands for Professional Electronic Commerce Online System. It is a centralised, fully automated internet based procurement system accessed through an Internet connection. It will enable everyone in the University to access it easily from their computer providing they have Internet access. PECOS will be used by staff to raise orders and transmit them to suppliers. A commitment against a budget will be registered within 24 hours in CODA. Invoices will continue to be processed through CODA. It is well-established and used by a wide variety of organisations worldwide. The software is remotely hosted and its flexibility allows implementation to be tailored to meet the requirements of different organisations. The software is provided by Elcom, a leading global provider of Internet-based electronic procurement solutions.
