Source to pay

Taking a strategic approach to managing business spend and ensuring a robust, resilient and efficient procurement operating model can quickly release sustainable savings, reduce operating costs and maximise operating profit. This approach is one more way in which businesses can minimise the financial impacts of the economic turmoil, and ensure their sustainability and growth. 

Issues you may be facing

  • You have limited control of your procurement spend and your cost base is not competitive in the market.
  • You have no formal procurement function or the current function is not aligned to your strategy / future ambitions.
  • You need improved spend visibility with enhanced procurement processes and controls.
  • You need to align your Procurement, Tax and Legal models for a more optimal effective tax rate across the group.
