We use it for Indirect spend

  • Has a complex variety of tools and options to build P2P process flows to fulfill organization's needs
  • It is flexible to be able to customize processes
  • Simple Service POs/POs to purchase services are not as easy to use and understand for inexperienced user
  • Overwhelming number of different scenarios of supplier connection via business network and lack of one good solid guide that would allow IT to use to solve issues. In many cases, we have to rely on trial and error methods.

It is well suited for large organizations with large amount of transactions where P2P processes and policies need to be defined and implemented in the system.
It is good tool for decentralized procurement where each user can submit requisition.
It is also good for power-buyers as it keeps all documents related to P2P transactions in one tool.
