Client Overview
A leading global manufacturer with 20+ plants across three continents was struggling with
a decentralized procurement process. Each plant operated independently, leading to
inconsistent pricing, high levels of maverick spend, and no visibility into global
supplier relationships or risks.
Key Challenges
- Lack of centralized spend data and analytics.
- High volume of non-PO, unapproved purchases.
- Inefficient, manual AP processes leading to late payments.
- Inability to leverage global purchasing power with key suppliers.
Our Solution
We implemented a unified, cloud-based Source-to-Pay platform, integrating it with their
existing SAP ERP system. The solution included:
- A global spend analytics dashboard to consolidate data from all plants.
- A guided buying portal with catalogs from preferred global suppliers.
- An automated AP module with 3-way matching to eliminate manual invoice processing.
- A centralized contract repository and supplier management portal.
