How Source-to-Pay (S2P) Works

Source-to-pay covers the entire procurement pipeline, from finding sources and suppliers, through ordering and receiving those goods, finally dealing with invoicing and payments. By tackling the procurement pipeline in its entirety, S2P is able to bring optimisation to your supply pipeline like never before.

You gain complete control over your sourcing parameters from pricing and goods quality, through to how ethical your chosen suppliers are, and whether you can get a better deal elsewhere. You also get the chance to interact with a range of potential suppliers directly, making sure you get the opportunity to get the best possible prices at every stage of the game.
