Management of supplier risk is imperative to the success of any enterprise, regardless of size or industry. For the executive working in the finance department of business, there are several challenges associated with supplier risk, including the necessity of compliance, quality control of incoming goods, and time management. Source-to-Pay (S2P) solutions provide comprehensive and efficient way of managing this risk.
The S2P solution is complete digital platform designed to handle purchasing and payment operations. It reduces the time and cost associated with overseeing and updating vendor information, identifying suppliers, and communicating and processing payments. This comprehensive software can help executives streamline supplier risk assessment, recruitment, and management processes.
The platform provides an integrated system for departments within an organization. Procurement, Accounts Payable, Legal and Risk Management, Cash Management, IT, and even HR departments can benefit individually and as whole. In addition to keeping records up-to-date and ensuring that payment processes are completed quickly, the platform ensures compliance and accuracy. Executives are granted complete visibility over their entire supplier operations, with automated management and tracking of vendor identity, tax forms, and insurance documents.
This all-encompassing system helps executives determine the quality of vendor before the selection process takes place and automate the selection process itself. Vendors are vetted based on two aspects of their offerings: the quality of their goods and services, and their ability to comply with the applicable legal regulations and external quality assurance initiatives. Participant companies can then be rated on scale, allowing executives to make informed decisions about which suppliers to use.
The benefits of S2P solutions extend to post-contract stages, as well. Cost, quality, and delivery performance tracking modules enable executives to monitor and evaluate the suppliers? performance and make the necessary adjustments. Additionally, security and compliance are maintained with continual checks and comparison of data against internal and external standards.

By taking advantage of the right system, executives can empower their organizations to more accurately manage supplier risk.
