Spend Control & eProcurement

The Challenges

In many organisations, accounts payable staff process a large number of purchase order and invoice transactions daily. These transactions often originate from paper-based documents and require a great amount of administrative effort to prepare, code, distribute for authorisation and ultimately post into the finance system. Such processes are extremely inefficient.         

We provide solutions from Proactis and Infor to help organisations overcome their spend control inefficiencies.

Lack of Spend Visibility

You have a lack of spend visibility and transparency over the way your organisation buys goods and services at both a corporate purchasing and employee expense level.

High Levels of Uncontrolled Spend

You have high levels of uncontrolled spend associated with poor, un-standardised purchasing processes. Staff purchase goods without proper authorisation, purchases are made from non-preferred suppliers and there is no visibility of purchasing commitments. To add to this, costs can be attributed to the wrong accounts or departments, critical purchases are delayed and productivity is lost as purchases take too long.

High Purchasing Costs

You need to minimise the total cost of the goods and services you buy. You need to reduce the cost of the way you buy goods and services. This includes the actual cost of the goods and services, the internal operational costs of obtaining them and the costs that occur when there is a delay in delivery, less than expected quality, or when any form of liability is passed from a supplier to the organisation.

Excessive Manpower

You spend excessive manpower on invoice processing, PO, personal expense claim handling and document archiving and retrieval.

Each stage of the lifecycle has specific outputs and deliverables, which means that your organisation can clearly see what they are paying for at the point of engagement.
