Simplify your order collaboration

Single Version of Truth

Today, many companies distribute purchase orders via email, as PDF documents. The effort is limited to automating PO distribution, so pushing data out is the easy part. However serving your supply partners with non-digital data is very counter-productive, as you expect to get accurate information back quickly, especially for order changes and confirmations. What you give is what you get.

What if you do them a favor? By offering your orders digitally and allowing them to re-use that information faster and more efficiently in their subsequent tasks, you will not only be able to reduce human errors but also move away from non-structured and fragmented information you need to collect from emails and phone calls. Processing an order response in a happy flow will take far less time to complete the PO cycle, and it allows you to focus on the exceptions.

If you can then iron out all the discrepancies at the line level, in a controlled way through workflows and integrated communication, it allows you to reach a Single Version of Truth. Not hidden in emails, but commonly available for the next step in the wider P2P process.

Imagine you can scale such improvements over hundreds of mission-critical material suppliers, for thousands of items. Imagine you can onboard new suppliers in such a clear and easy way of working.
