Minimize free-text requisitions

Minimize time spent in manual requisition operations and redirect employees’ time to high-value-added activities.

Reduce manual rework

Rework and changes cause significant manual effort. Resolve root causes such as outdated master data to increase labor productivity.

Resolve payment blocks

Automatically resolve payment blocks by solving root causes such as address, price, and quantity mismatches between purchase order (PO) and invoice.

Increase procurement automation

Use a data-driven assessment to identify automation potential in your process. Resolve the root cause of manual activities early in the process.

Increase accounts payable automation

Use data to assess if there’s an opportunity for automation in your processes.

Minimize late deliveries

Reduce imprecise deliveries to hold less safety stock and prevent late customer payments due to production delays.

Minimize early deliveries

Supply planning requires assumptions on the time it takes to receive products from suppliers. Incorrect assumptions cause issues in stocking and payment schedules.

Avoid payment term mismatches

Ensure the best available payment terms are used across purchase order, invoice, and master data.

Avoid early payments

Optimize payment runs to avoid payments before the due date.

Reduce aging credit memos

Open credit memos are often forgotten or not leveraged quickly. Increase and accelerate application of credit memos against invoices to reduce spend and optimize working capital.

Prevent retrospective POs (“maverick buying”)

Requisitioners circumvent the procurement department and create POs only after the purchase has been made and the invoice was issued.
