Get control over spend, boost visibility, and deliver cost savings with eProcurement.
Finance leaders are asked to provide the financial strategy that powers the business to achieve its goals. At the same time, they must keep a tight rein on costs, improve cash flow, and deliver reliable financial insights.
All of this must be done while helping their organization successfully navigate a constantly shifting environment.
For these reasons, chief financial officers are interested in the opportunities for optimization that can be found within procurement. Automating the procure-to-pay process, simplifying purchasing, and managing spend through an eProcurement solution is quickly emerging as key to financial confidence and success.
Maintaining control and oversight in a decentralized purchasing environment is a major challenge for many organizations. Different departments have their own suppliers and own ways of buying.
End users want to follow the correct guidelines, but purchasing can be more complicated than it needs to be. Your procurement team wants a compliant procurement process that lets them deliver efficiencies and savings, but they lack the right tools.
A purpose-built spend management solution helps your organization maintain financial stability by empowering you to:
Managing the entire purchasing process through a single, easy-to-use solution gives your organization unprecedented control over procurement. You can cater to the specific needs of each department while remaining confident that spend is compliant and fully auditable.
All purchases are made at your negotiated prices, approved by those with the appropriate authority, and are allocated to the correct budget. Automation reduces effort at every step so your procurement and accounts payable teams are freed up to focus on more strategic work.
A streamlined and automated procurement process powered by an easy-to-use eProcurement solution will enable your organization to:
Your finance system is an essential tool for your organization and it’s understandable to look to it when transitioning away from a paper-driven procurement process.
But if you’re currently purchasing through an ERP procurement module, your procurement team and users probably won’t be short of reasons why it just doesn’t work for them.
Managing purchasing through a system that was not built for the task can be frustratingly inefficient and full of hidden costs. Supplier integration and enablement through an ERP can be time consuming and resource intensive for both procurement and IT teams. Plus, there’s an additional burden on IT whenever a modification, improvement, or security update is required.
Using an ERP procurement module can also be a complicated and cumbersome experience for users. Creating requisitions for everyday purchases can be frustrating and involve multiple steps and screens, driving some users to buy off contract in an effort to avoid the complexity.
The best eProcurement solutions overcome all of these challenges. They are cost-effective, purpose-built tools that work in tandem with your ERP to provide the functionality and usability your business wants, while giving you the central visibility and savings you need to maintain financial stability. Tight integration between the two means your ERP remains the financial source of truth at all times.
