Why GPO Authority and AP Evolution Depend on Visibility
Register
In today’s fast-paced business environment, visibility plays a key role in the effectiveness of both GPOs and Accounts Payable (AP) processes.
Organizations are under pressure to optimize performance, reduce errors, and maintain financial transparency. For GPOs, clear insight into purchasing trends, supplier performance, and contract compliance enables better decision-making and cost-saving. For AP teams, visibility into invoice status, payment cycles, and discrepancies is essential for protecting cash flow and reducing risk. Yet many organisations still manage these processes manually or through outdated systems, making visibility limited and error-prone.
This is where AI-powered automation comes into play, enabling organizations to not only enhance visibility but also streamline operations. By integrating AI tools, businesses can automate data analysis, detect anomalies in real time, and gain deeper insights that drive smarter decisions. Ultimately, the combination of visibility and AI-driven automation is the key to improving operational efficiency, reducing costs, and increasing overall financial transparency in both GPO and AP systems. How would your organisation look if it achieved 90% touchless processing and 50%+ STP?
Join this session to explore how leading GPOs are improving effectiveness by combining visibility and AI-powered automation from day one.
