    Automate RFP creation, bid evaluation, and contract generation—ensuring consistent terms, faster cycle times, and reduced maverick spend.
  • Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) Workflow
    Integrate requisition, PO creation, goods receipt, and invoice processing into a seamless, electronic workflow—minimizing manual touchpoints and errors.
  • Spend Analytics & Visibility
    Leverage real-time dashboards to track spend by category, supplier, and business unit—identifying savings opportunities and enforcing procurement policies.
  • Compliance & Risk Controls

  • Catalog & Inventory Integration
    Connect procurement processes with inventory and catalog systems to ensure accurate pricing, availability, and automated replenishment.

Alphanet Approach

  • Assessment & Roadmap
    Conduct a discovery workshop to map existing procurement workflows, identify system gaps, and establish KPIs (e.g., PO cycle time, maverick spend). Deliver a phased transformation plan.
  • Platform Configuration & Integration
    Configure procurement modules within your ERP or procure-to-pay platform. Integrate with finance, inventory, and contract management systems for end-to-end data flow.
  • Process Automation & Standardization
    Design and implement electronic requisition, PO approval, and invoice matching workflows—standardizing policies and reducing manual exceptions.
  • Supplier Enablement & Collaboration
    Onboard suppliers to a self-service portal for order confirmations, invoice submissions, and real-time status updates—improving accuracy and supplier satisfaction.
  • Spend Analytics & Policy Enforcement
    Deploy analytics tools and enforce approval rules to monitor compliance, identify off-contract spend, and drive continuous savings.
  • Training & Change Management
    Provide role-based training for procurement, finance, and business stakeholders. Establish “Procurement Champions” to reinforce best practices and drive adoption.
