Get a handle on how your organisation really buys goods and services

After payroll, the biggest source of cost in almost all organisations is the procurement of the expense items, outside services and capital items needed to support your operations - the items that present the "cost of doing business". As a Commercial company, there is no such thing as "business as usual" today. Every organisation must look at ways to streamline the organisation. With market pressures and today's economy, there is an increasing need for ongoing cost containment and reduction.

The Purchase-To-Pay cycle for indirect procurement encompasses everything that happens from the time there is an intention to buy a product or service, through the appropriate authorisation processes, to sending the Purchase Order (PO) or purchase release to the supplier, and finally to receiving and paying the supplier's invoice.

The software systems that exist to address this important cycle are generalled referred to as Purchase-to-Pay or Procure-to-Pay systems - P2P for short. P2P systems ensure compliance and deliver savings for your business, our software solutions integrate directly with your own purchasing systems.

Our P2P system consists of two essential components: eProcurement and ePayables

Would you apply the same drawn-out process to smaller, day-to-day, indirect products? Of course not - it would be a waste of time, money and effort, especially when indirect procurement typically makes up only 15-27% of a company's total revenue. The only way to improve is to streamline the process without giving up the necessary controls. That leads us to the value of a good P2P system. At Greenham, we aim to eliminate waste, making these inefficiencies a thing of the past by helping to streamline your Purchase to Pay process depending on what you're buying. That way, you can get an accelerated buying process with a lower cost per transaction in short: quicker, simpler and cheaper.
