Retail Chain – Industrial Products

The Challenges

  • 1 Time consuming and messy accounts payable process.
  • 2 Lacking visibility & accountability.
  • 3 Payment delays straining supplier relationships.

A multi retail location supplier of industrial products had a tough time with their accounts payable approval process. Bringing together invoices, delivery dockets and remote branch approval created head office headaches.

Chasing paperwork, sending approval reminders and a lack of visibility of what outgoing cashflow was ready for payment added to the frustration. Overdue payments and late penalties were impacting relationship with key suppliers.

A simple accounts payable approval workflow was introduced - This created clarity around delegation, current status in the multi-stepped approval process, ensured important documents were cross checked, invoicing errors detected and suppliers kept happy through prompt payment.

Result

  • Streamlined collation and matching of invoices, purchase orders and delivery documents.
  • Visibility who and where are invoices in the approval process.
  • Speed - Procure to pay.
