Procurement

Process Improvement: Procurement

Procument, or Procure To Pay (P2P), is a process that begins when you decide specific goods or services that needs to be obtained.

‍

Once the goods or services have been provided and paid for, the process is complete. Sure sounds simple when we put it that way. But in reality, you know it's much more complex than that.

‍

The entire process usually includes obtaining estimates, approving the purchase, selecting a supplier, issuing a purchase order, receiving the goods (or service), and paying its invoice. It involves multiple departments and inefficiencies lead to consequences in purchasing power, working capital, and supplier relations.

Unlock operational excellence with process mining & automation. Businesses unprepared to take the next step in digital transformation will quickly get left behind in challenging times.

1. Cost Reduction

‍

Process mining, when implemented in Procurement processes, can bring significant impact on your organization's cost performance.

‍

To strengthen operational flow and minimize deviations that are draining precious time and money, Procurement Managers need clear understanding and visualization of actual processes. With this, you can take data-driven recovery action and monitor results. Identify bottlenecks to run seamlessly.

‍

When processes are optimized to its best potential, watch as overpayment issues and operational costs reduce while competitive pricing leads to healthy cash flow. One case study with a telco giant recorded $5million in savings, after applying process mining to their Procurement process. Let Perceptif help you do this with ease.

2. Digital Transformation

‍

Process mining facilitates the digitalization and evolution of legacy Procurement tools that are still the pillar of mature finance departments. Though many tech-forward organizations may have gotten rid of lengthy processing times and paper-based procedures, there is still room for improvement and modernization into a growingly digitalized future.

‍

Bottlenecks, invoice errors, overpayment issues, and manual data entry are still happening today.

‍

Can this be holding back your business performance?

‍

Now here is where process mining comes in to streamline complex processes and accelerate your organization's digital transformation with better automation in Procurement. Automate processes like manual orders, tedious reworks, or inefficient approvals more effectively by adapting to new technology like Perceptif's, a step up from the legacy tools that have limited capabilities to revolutionize Procurement  operations.

When organizations use process mining to optimize their Procurement process, businesses can improve overall lead time, productivity, and problem management. Data-driven approach is how process mining  impacts Procurement teams in making timely payments, gain competitive prices, regulate compliances, and audit precisely to bring the best outcomes for the business.

With AI-driven analytics, your business can be on its way to seamless, functional Procurement flows to drive productivity to new heights.

4. Improve Compliance

‍

You're in Procurement, you know any problems can occur.

‍

Especially if you're a worldwide organization with a standardized Procurement flow, regional offices may unconsciously deviate to their own best practices in line with local cultures. This becomes a compliance issue when there's multiple variations of the approved, standardized process under one global roof.

‍

How does your current system detect non-compliance and take action before it grows into bigger, more expensive problems?

‍

You must be able to easily assess and compare compliance level with conformance checks across different sets of data, then identify the single best practice to enforce moving forward. With Perceptif, you identify the root causes of how specific action impacts compliance with data, not guesswork.

‍

Compare different execution steps of Procurement between teams and individuals, then drive changes.

‍

Monitor how, where, and when your Procure To Pay processes deviates in real-time and maximize compliance with Perceptif today.
