Due to the complexity of the P2P cycle, there is potential for errors and oversight to occur at every stage. When you have so many processes be it individual or departmental needing to converge and work in sync with each other, and with outside entities such as vendors, the potential is often realised.
These errors can be PO’s not reaching vendors, PO’s not being acknowledged by vendors, to incorrect orders, such as the wrong item being delivered or the wrong amount. These issues add-up to delayed payments and delayed production, by placing a heavy burden on administrative tasks, and the need to often liaise directly with vendors.

We’ll do the heavy lifting, and will provide you with all the information and assistance you need at your end as well. Once the integration is complete, we’ll train your procurement staff, administrative staff, and your vendors on how to use i2B.
When there is such heavy reliance on manual execution of processes, there will inevitably be bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
