What is Source-to-Pay (S2P)?
Source-to-Pay (S2P) is a comprehensive procurement approach that integrates all activities from sourcing suppliers to making payments. Unlike fragmented systems, S2P provides a holistic view of your spending and supplier relationships by combining:
- Contract management - managing agreements and compliance
- Strategic sourcing - selecting and negotiating with suppliers
- Payment processing - invoicing and accounts payable
- Procurement operations - requisitioning and purchasing
