Definitely you need our service, if your company is experiencing any of the under listed indicators:

· Poorly maintained vendor master file (inactive vendors, duplicates, missing or incorrect data, etc)

· Lack of standardized processes and controls across several business processes like travel and entertainment, purchasing, procurement cards, accounts payable and contract management processes.

· Limited use of integrated system functionality (ERPs – SAP, Oracle, etc)

· Recent staff turnover in AP and/or procurement
