Procure-to-Pay (P2P)

A combination of the e-procurement and AP Automation/I2P markets spanning the procurement process, including automation of purchase requisitions/orders, receipts, invoices and payments.

Why Invest in Procure-to-Pay Technology?

Integrated P2P solutions help procurement and finance by implementing sourced contracts to actually deliver value, reduce paper-based processes and improve operational efficiency and effectiveness (e.g., reduced late payments, optimized working capital, minimized risk and non-compliance) — including the ability to configure and deploy more complex invoicing (e.g., by country), cash management and trade financing processes.

Why selecting the right P2P Technology can be difficult

Uniform experience

Ensuring a uniform employee (and supplier) experience from the intake and e-procurement process through AP automation and supplier payment.

Systems that work together

Smooth connections between P2P and adjacent solutions (and supplier disconnect too), such as sourcing/category management, contract management, inventory management, budget management and supplier information management.

Value realization

Making sure that the potential value created in the sourcing/category management and CLM processes are actually realized in the P2P execution process.
