ServiceNow Source-to-Pay<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Successfully implementing source-to-pay \u2013 with servistio<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Requests for goods sent by email, approvals given verbally, supplier data spread across three systems, and invoices that sit unprocessed for weeks whilst issues are clarified. In many companies, the procurement and accounts payable departments operate outside the ERP system \u2013 and this is precisely where the process loses time, transparency and potential for cost savings. servistio helps companies set up the entire procurement process in ServiceNow in such a way that it can be managed end-to-end: from requirements capture through sourcing, supplier onboarding and contracts right through to invoice processing. The ERP system remains the transactional backbone. ServiceNow orchestrates everything before, during and after that.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

From requirement to payment<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

What is ServiceNow Source-to-Pay (S2P)?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
\"\"<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Source-to-Pay describes the entire procurement process: from identifying requirements and selecting suppliers, through to contracts and purchase orders, right through to invoice verification and payment. Traditional ERP systems are designed to process high volumes of transactions such as purchase orders. ServiceNow Source-to-Pay Operations supports the work that takes place before and between these transactions \u2013 planning, sourcing, onboarding and day-to-day management. It is not a replacement for an ERP system, but rather a process and service layer on the ServiceNow AI Platform.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
