How to Generate Cost Savings from Supplier Invoices: A Comprehensive Technique to Improve Your Purchase-to-Pay Platform: A Case Study of Belgian Rail

Consider: 70% of invoices are still paper-based, and 30% require manual intervention. Surprised? Or resigned to this statistic? Belgian Rail has made it a priority to gain control over its invoice system as a means to managing vendors and payments more efficiently – and has the results to show for it.

Stephane Haelterman will share his extraordinary experience in P2P technology, and explain how using OpenText’s Invoice Management software has driven advances in two specific areas:

First, by eliminating time-consuming inaccuracies and exceptions so that invoices are paid on time and discounts applied; and second, by analyzing vendor data to identify which vendors consistently create invoicing issues.

The ability to shift away from these vendors has been a big value driver for Belgian Rail, as he will explain. In addition, Stephane will address:

• How to establish a baseline for measured improvement using value stream mapping for your entire purchase-to-pay process

• How to streamline AP operations across and beyond a supplier network, for visibility into costs and supplier performance

• How to configure user roles and streamline exception management

• How to generate valuable business intelligence from your invoices
