Challenges associated with manual procurement and finance processes are significant, impacting not only operations speed but also the accuracy and transparency of transactions.
It is time to explore digital transformation if your organization is still using paper for vendor onboarding, handling Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and Requests for Quotations (RFQs) or battling with manual approvals for petty cash and expenditure reimbursements. These are all examples of situations in which your organization still holds on to paper.
Using process automation technology such as WorkHub24, these problems can be resolved in the following manner.
Challenge with Manual Processes
Manual processes in procurement and finance typically involve a lot of paperwork and are prone to several issues
- Delays and Inefficiencies: Paper-based processes require physical handling, which can lead to significant delays in processing times, especially if documents need to be approved by multiple stakeholders.
- Error-prone: Manual data entry and document management are susceptible to human error, which can lead to inaccuracies in financial records and reporting.
- Lack of Transparency: Tracking the status of RFPs, RFQs, or expense approvals is challenging when relying on paper or basic digital communications like email, making it difficult to provide visibility and accountability.
- Security Risks: Physical documents are vulnerable to damage, loss, and unauthorized access, which can pose serious security risks.
Process Automation Software
Establishing a planned approach to updating procurement and finance operations can be accomplished through the implementation of process automation technology such as WorkHub24. Managing Documents Automatically WorkHub24 can automate the full document lifecycle, from the generation of documents to their distribution and approval, as well as their storage and retrieval.
- It is possible to streamline approvals through process automation, which involves determining and automating approval workflows. Notifications and reminders are sent out automatically, which guarantees that permissions are collected in a timely manner and that processes proceed without any unneeded delays.
- An improved level of visibility and control is achieved by the utilization of a single dashboard that enables real-time monitoring of all procurement and finance procedures.
- Automation minimizes the possibility of human error by standardizing data entry and document management.
- Digital documents are stored securely in the cloud with encryption, access controls, and audit trails that enhance security and reduce the risk of loss or unauthorized access.
