Challenge

Without a formal procurement system, many employees bought items through different vendors, resulting in value leakage.

Finance spent too much time on tax coding and had no way to track, forecast, or budget spending since they only became aware of purchases when they received an invoice.

The company wanted to deploy a user-friendly tool across various locations that required minimal IT involvement
