What are Purchase to Pay implementation success factors?

You have decided you want to increase spend control and optimise cash management through end to end procurement and finance digitisation and automation. Considerations are being made – starting upstream with procurement or downstream with accounts payable. Or both at the same time. Ensuring suppliers and stakeholders are onboard. Starting with one business unit or all at the same time, one country at the time or not. Deciding how to make sure you stay on track and manage to tackle possible challenges along the way.

During this discussion you will discuss that and;

  • How do you secure internal commitment?
  • How do you ensure high level compliance and system usage in the organization?
  • How do you secure efficient processes that reduce TCO (total cost of ownership)?
  • Which KPIs should you follow up?

For too long functions in large organizations have been divided into units. Deciding what one does and the other don’t do. Today there are every possibility to break those silos and find ways to collaborate across functions. Because it’s a must. How else will you be in control of and find ways to utilize the possibilities in your supply chain and cash flow? Welcome to join any of the two sessions hosted by Daniel and Martin!

Why You (Procurement) need to team up with Finance for Spend Management success and how to establish trust and alignment with Finance

Procurement at CEVA Logistics, a leading global logistics and supply chain organization, teamed up with Finance to take their spend management from fragmented to world class with an agile rollout to 40 territories. During this session you will learn how CEVA Logistics chose to structure that collaboration. Learn why Finance is your best friend and most important ally for successful Spend Management.

During this session you will discuss;

  • You have heard that Procurement and Finance should be working together, right?
  • But why exactly is that and how do you achieve that?
  • With diverging targets, KPIs, incentives and systems, how can alignment be achieved?
  • We will talk about the cornerstones of this relationship and get concrete about the “why” and the ”how”.

This is a topic we know all struggle with. How many suppliers do you work with? How many suppliers do you have active in your systems? How much supplier data do you manage? How well do you collaborate and manage suppliers and the supplier experience? Welcome to join this session and learn from HICX and peers joining the session!

How to improve Supplier Experience: Why Supplier Information is key

Just as companies have over the last 50 years changed their attitude towards their employees from, “you’re lucky to have a job” to recognizing that they’re in a war for talent, so too leading organizations are transforming the way they work with suppliers; focusing exclusively on price alone is no longer going to cut it.
‘Supplier experience management’ means removing the friction from all interactions with all your suppliers, enabling them to do their best work for you. In this session we’ll consider whether intensive collaboration projects with just a handful of strategic suppliers is enough, or if it actually makes more sense to view your entire supplier base – direct and indirect – as a source of competitive advantage.

During this session you will discuss:

  • Does Supplier Experience matter? How has procurement evolved past savings to make supplier relationships matter more the before?
  • What’s the potential ROI from investing in a better supplier experience?
  • What is preventing us from creating great supplier experiences?
  • What would enable a great supplier experience?

Being data driven and automating is what ALL companies talk about. Anders have a lot of experiences to share! He also have a couple of topics where he hope to learn from Your experiences.

Continuous stakeholder management in a data driven procurement organization

At FLSmidth a Procurement Center of Excellence (CoE) is standardising processes and gathering and sharing direct and indirect procurement related data with the organization across 60 countries. The aim to provide better decision making facts as well as driving efficiency and quality. Through recent years a number of robots (RPA) have reduced 35% of manual order related tasks. Chatbots and other technology is helping the organisation get individual data based on current needs. Here you will learn how they have shaped their data driven CoE team and ways of working, what they are using RPA to do and how they are measuring success. You will also discuss how you can continue to develop supply chain transparency and quality also after you have the data.
Learn about how the CoE is set up, what data is used to create KPIs and measure procurement and supply chain and how RPA and chatbots are used

  • How do you collaborate with category teams to increase focus on long term strategies rather than short term operations?
  • In what ways are you increasing time spent on value engineering in a project focused organization?
  • Benchmark – what do you do when you meet resistance to change, is it possible to become too data driven and automated?
