Procurement

From purchase order to paid invoice, procurement runs on documents. Automating the match between order, receipt and invoice, and governing contracts and supplier documents, gives control and saves time.

Why this role specifically

Procurement teams juggle purchase orders, delivery notes, invoices, contracts and supplier certificates across email, portals and ERP. Matching them manually is slow, and errors slip through.

Contract obligations and renewal dates are easily missed, supplier compliance documents expire unnoticed, and e-invoicing mandates change how suppliers send invoices.

Where we usually start

Two practices cover most of what comes up for procurement teams. Both link through to the full explanation.

Process Automation

Purchase-to-pay workflows with automatic matching of order, receipt and invoice, and supplier processes connected across ERP, portals and email.

Content Services & Document Management

Contracts and supplier documents in one governed place, with obligations, renewal dates and certificates tracked automatically.

What we propose most often

IRISXtract for capturing invoices and delivery notes, Banqup for Peppol e-invoicing with suppliers, Therefore for contracts from draft to obligations, and Workato to connect ERP and supplier systems.

What this looks like in practice

A typical procurement engagement starts with three-way matching for one supplier stream, or with getting contracts and their renewal dates under control.

From there we connect suppliers, ERP and approvals into one purchase-to-pay flow with a full audit trail.

Platforms we use most in this sector

Which platform we propose depends on your process and systems. These are the ones we deploy most often here, delivered by Canon IMS under one contract.

Purchase-to-pay automation, from capture to e-invoicing and contract management, is one of the most common starting points for Canon IMS customers.

Frequently asked questions

Can order, receipt and invoice be matched automatically?

How do we keep track of contract obligations and renewals?

Therefore tracks contract obligations, deadlines and renewal dates, so they no longer depend on someone’s calendar.

How will suppliers send e-invoices?
