Digital transformation of
procurement

Expenses under management
Ideally, indirect spend remains decentralized, but in a regulated manner. Regulation begins with rationalizing the supplier base and formalizing relationships with preferred suppliers, through contracts.
This lays the foundation for more favorable terms and purchasing prices, and a cheaper and compliant ordering process.
Central purchasing platform
To take advantage of the benefits of working with preferred suppliers, a central purchasing platform offers a solution. A "corporate webshop" where employees themselves can order products from preferred suppliers.
Orders are valued based on defined budgets, submitted to budget holders through a workflow, and formalized uniformly in the form of a PO.
Integration with accounts payable
A regimented procurement process with formal POs, supplemented by order confirmations, makes invoice processing much easier. Invoice information can be automatically matched with the PO, among other things.
The straight-throughput processing of invoices, in turn, creates opportunities for procurement, as well as for early payment discount agreements.
