Improve visibility across business spending
Source-to-pay (S2P) touches every aspect of your business—from initial supplier research and negotiations to invoicing and final payment for goods received—yet it’s still a primarily slow, inefficient, manual process for many organizations. Unfortunately, that leaves you open to challenges—from a lack of data visibility to fraud, overpayments, and operational waste.
Overpayments, for example, are common control weaknesses that can cause overspending on the P&L. Our experience is that organizations typically overpay within a consistent range of 0.25% to 0.50% of their spend each year, which adds up fast. As part of our source-to-pay services, we identify prior issues for recovery, determine the root cause, and establish controls to govern processes moving forward.
Are you struggling with these challenges?
You may understand the benefits of touchless S2P, but are your old legacy systems, complex organizational structure, and sub-optimal processes holding you back?
That’s where we come in. Our source-to-pay services can help you overcome:
- Siloed processes disrupting stakeholder collaboration and decision making
- Manual processes that don’t scale leading to fraud, operational waste, overspending, and stagnated growth
- Records and documentation stored across different platforms
- Lack of supply chain agility and visibility
- Inaccuracies around spend management causing confusion, increased fees, or fines
- Aging or inefficient legacy systems leading to increased costs, overpayments, and redundant processes
- Overpayments caused by duplicate or invalid liabilities or duplicate or invalid invoices
Together, we’ll uncover the root causes of your S2P issues and develop processes and controls that allow you to operate simpler, faster, and smarter. We’ll help free up your people for value-added activities and realize the efficiency, accuracy, and control you need to drive procurement, finance, and technology excellence.
