Being in purchasing isn’t easy.

From suppliers, to finance managers, to IT – there’s lots of balls to juggle and people to communicate with, and if you don’t have an efficient system in place, it can make running your purchasing team that much harder.

Sometimes we can get so busy that we don’t take the time to step back, see the wood for the trees and think about a solution that could make our day to day lives so much easier – a purchase to pay software like i2B Connect is that solution for your business.

We know your purchasing frustrations

After working with countless purchasing teams, we know the problems and challenges you face every day – firefighting through email and telephone messages, trying to update everyone about orders changing, chasing suppliers, and getting to grips with online systems.

All of these issues can take up a lot of your time, and therefore cost your business a lot of money, but it doesn’t have to be that way.

It’s likely you already have an ERP system in place, and you might be really happy with it. We know how vital a good ERP system is to your business and we’re not trying to suggest you replace it and use up more money – we want to save you time and money by enhancing your current ERP with our i2B Connect solution.

How i2B Connect solves your purchasing pains

The truth is that no matter how effective your ERP system is, an innovative purchase to pay solution like i2B Connect reaches areas in the purchasing process that your ERP just can’t, and it puts purchasing and supply chain improvement at the centre of all of your existing systems.

Spend too much time waiting on suppliers to accept your order? i2B Connect shows you their response in real time.

Sick of chasing to find out where your order is? We can give you real time tracking updates to eliminate this stress.

Tired of receiving incorrect orders because changes haven’t been communicated to your supplier? i2B Connect updates orders automatically, and alerts suppliers to the change too so they’re instantly aware.

Find it hard to access updates on your orders? Because i2B Connect is cloud based, you can access it easily any time, any place.

i2B Connect is a comprehensive solution that deals with the entire purchase to pay process, from the minute you submit an order, to the moment you pay the invoice for it – we’ve thought of everything, and if there’s anywhere we can make your job as a purchasing manager easier, we’ve done it for you.

Effortless integration into your business
