The Source-to-Pay (S2P) suite automates and optimizes end-to-end sourcing and procurement processes to improve internal controls, enhance supply chain processes, offer comprehensive spend visibility, and mitigate supplier risk & compliance. The S2P suites’ native and comprehensive capabilities help organizations standardize procurement processes and minimize TCOs to quickly react to changing business scenarios, opportunities, and challenges. It also provides a single consolidated suite for organizations to gain complete visibility by centralizing the entire procurement data and making informed procurement strategies.
Currently, organizations are focusing on developing an advanced S2P suite by leveraging AI/ML technologies to offer a unified solution for managing users’ demand for procurement services. This S2P suite helps organizations mitigate risks and comply with future regulatory requirements. As the S2P suite is composed of scalable solutions that can be easily expanded across the user’s supply chain network, the S2P suite helps eliminate obsolete custom-made systems that possess expensive maintenance. Vendors in the procurement space are heavily targeting their investments to ensure product competency and gain business advantage.

Furthermore, the e-procurement and invoice-to-pay capabilities helps organizations to enhance the buying experience, maximize compliance, and provides end-to-end management of direct and indirect transactions. The platform also enables businesses to improve collaboration, configure workflows, set up alerts, and approve documents from anywhere on any device. For direct materials spend, Ivalua enables complex direct materials sourcing as well as supply chain collaboration across forecasts, planned orders and vendor managed inventory.
