How can you organize this efficiently?It often happens that the purchase is done from many different suppliers. This all has to be kept in an organized manner and that requires a lot of paperwork. This is a time consuming job. You can reduce the number of suppliers by means of invoice procurement. Consider the following points:
Because you have 1 total supplier, you also only have 1 point of contact, 1 invoice and 1 payment term. A lot less to take into account. This way you can focus on the core activities of your business. This allows you to focus on strategic issues and optimize them in the long run. This also reduces internal costs by up to 21%! Outsourcing your purchasing is therefore always a good idea. From invoice settlement to the source to pay or procure to pay process, we are happy to take the work off your hands. |
