Reduce costs by analyzing the number of document changes?

Orders and invoices that must be viewed and processed again, for example due to price changes or subsequently recorded goods receipts, cause additional work and thus costs.

A holistic approach helps to optimize processes in the best possible way. By looking at recurring patterns and processes in business processes, 'usual trampling paths' (digital traces) can be identified and, if necessary, changed or redefined. Process blockers can be successfully discovered, considering the total lead times and the time intervals of individual workflow steps (e.g. additional processing step due to price changes after the order has been placed).

  • Which vendor is causing the most post price increases?
  • Which supplier is responsible for the most quantity blocks due to incorrect deliveries (quality and quantity)?

The results of a process analysis provide the basis for process optimization. Among other things, change management can be initiated, whereby the cooperation and communication between external suppliers and in-house purchasing is improved.

In addition, the background booking rate can be increased. Documents that have gone through further process steps without changes except for manual approval can be automated. This not only reduces the workload, but also ensures smooth processes.

Larger companies in particular have the challenge of objectively assessing confusing business processes due to a huge number of different orders and incoming invoices. A process analysis provides the necessary clarity here to be able to optimize processes really effectively.
