5 brands providing P2P and S2P Solutions

Oftentimes, in the software procurement sector, the terms Source-to-Pay (S2P) and Procure-to-Pay (P2P) are interchanged. The difference between the two is that S2P extends the P2P process into strategic sourcing. Both of these solutions aid in the integration of big data, market trend analysis, historical spending, process management, spend management, supplier management, invoice management, and other crucial tasks. In short, they provide greater visibility to the procurement process for the growth and development of the enterprises. 

These solutions bring procurement procedures together on a single platform, resulting in a stronger ecosystem that supports regulatory and contractual compliance. These solutions also improve the collaborative capability during sourcing with other brands. Lastly, with all the complexities inherited in this type of implementation, timings can often force organizations into developing very tightly coupled solutions or end-to-end implementations of integration. Hence, this ultimately creates an urgent need for vendors to look within both the S2P and P2P solutions.
