Driving Impactful Business Outcomes through Advanced P2P Practices

“Through our transformational P2P program, we were able to resolve policy, transparency and technology issues for the U.S. business of a global company. We also used creative strategies and effective negotiations with vendors and customers, resulting in an increase in DPO and a decrease in DSO, improving overall cash flow.”
