Bringing greater efficiencies to the procurement process
Is your accounts payable organization focused solely on transaction processing rather than creating business value? Are you looking to transform your payments organization into a strategic asset? Are you interested in managing your Days Payables Outstanding, or DPO, and maximizing the amount of discounts earned?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you may want to investigate outsourcing all or part of your procurement function. With the right procure-to-pay payment services, your company can:
- Increase working capital by optimizing DPO and discounts earned
- Reduce operating expenses through process automation, industrial engineering, Six Sigma methodologies and labor cost savings
- Increase controls and compliance through rigorous process design, quality programs and best-in-class tools and technologies
- Free up retained resources to focus on strategic issues such as spend optimization rather than transaction processing
- Minimize infrastructure and technology costs by leveraging HP’s global infrastructure
