We're an Open Source startup focused on managing the lifecycle of server fleets, such as maintenance, waste control, etc. To get a grasp of what we're about: https://github.com/rebootoio/vaxiin-sandbox
We're thinking of tackling the challenges of new hardware procurement. From the initial "what do I need?", through generating a BoM with all the boilerplate, validating the quote, the delivery, etc.
We'd like to know if and what are the pains that you experience in this process. For example: - Who in your org generates the initial spec? - What's your workflow from spec to quote to delivery? - What works and what's broken?
