The “Right” way to control cost. 5 tips for CFOs and CPOs.

‘Cost Control” brings to mind images of travel freezes, longer work hours, reduced employee perquisites, and a general air of depression.

During the implementation, our experienced spend management experts can help you revisit your DoA to make the process even more efficient and smart.

Right Time – Even though we all experience the importance of purchasing the product at the right time in our personal life, the time factor often gets ignored during corporate purchases. In a modern Procure to Pay software like Expenzing, crisply defined DoA Rules, automated notifications, follow-up/reminders/escalations help in fast and timely approval. By making the approval cycle smooth, Expenzing ensures purchase-time does not escalate the cost of purchase.

Such scenarios either result in repeat purchase or the product not being used as required by the business. If the business user is part of the process and has the right visibility, it helps purchase teams procure the right product with correct specifications. Expenzing P2P software is both affordable and easy-to-use facilitating enterprise-wide user access and operation of the system.

However, many mature organizations struggle with actually ensuring that users make full use of these opportunities. Making sure the right people are part of the DoA rules makes for efficient financial control through the right Procure to Pay system.

Right Process – Once eProcurement DoA rules get set up, the system ensures there is no deviation while making the process faster, smoother, and more convenient. Expenzing ensures that the complete process is auditable, making it easy to backtrack and trace any footprint.
