Source to Pay (S2P) Solutions
Driving efficiency, compliance and value across the spend lifecycle.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Connecting procurement and finance to manage spend
Source to Pay (S2P) connects procurement and finance across sourcing, contracting, purchasing, receipting and payment into a single, controlled workflow. It provides organisations with visibility, governance and efficiency across the entire spend lifecycle from identifying suppliers through to paying invoices. Our Source to Pay solution integrates tightly with ERP, bringing finance and procurement onto a single, connected process.
Guided by Elastic Change, it is designed to evolve as policies shift, volumes grow and operating models change, ensuring spend management remains controlled, efficient and fit for the future.
THE CHALLENGE
The cost of disconnected spend processes
Many organisations operate fragmented procurement and accounts payable processes, often relying on manual approvals, disconnected systems and email-based workflows.
As spend volumes grow and governance requirements increase, these approaches struggle to scale. Common challenges include:
- Limited visibility of total organisational spend.
- Inconsistent or non-compliant purchasing.
- Manual, time-consuming invoice processing.
- Poor supplier experience and delayed payments.
- Increased risk around approvals, contracts and controls.
YOUR BUSINESS GOALS
The case for strengthening Source to Pay
Organisations typically look to strengthen Source to Pay in order to:
- Gain full visibility and control over organisational spend.
- Improve compliance with procurement policies and contracts.
- Reduce procurement and invoice processing cycle times.
- Strengthen supplier relationships and performance.
- Free up finance and procurement teams to focus on value-added activities.
Together, these outcomes enable stronger governance, better decisions and more effective use of organisational spend.
