Challenge

With no central system for purchase ordering and requisitions, the VF team needed more visibility and control over indirect spending.

A lack of digital and automated processes meant the finance team had to spend time digging through ledgers and pulling data from different places, making it difficult to optimize cash flow.

A global and remote workforce required the new spend management system and its processes to be easy to use.
