Interview with Peter Tull, Director Group Supply Chain, Lantmännen

EBG | Network continuously ask “the market” questions to try to learn more about what are prioritized areas and what the challenges are. Managing contract life cycles is such an area. Consider the amount of time spent and the trust built with numerous suppliers and still it has been really challenging enabling contract usage and following up on contract compliance.

Interview with Lantmännen

EBG was able to interview Peter Tull, Director Group Supply Chain at Lantmännen and ask him about how they choose to develop procurement in general and contract management in particular.

The interview can be viewed below.

Peter Tull, Director Group Supply Chain at Lantmännen about contract management

Lantmännen are using Icertis to develop their contract management further. Icertis themselves highlight the below challenges faced by sourcing organizations as:

  • Fragmented sourcing and contracting processes
  • A low level of collaboration between internal and external stakeholders
  • A lack of compliance and visibility
  • Lengthy cycle times and increased costs
  • Poor contract creation from sourcing events and suboptimal post-contract execution
  • Weak supplier collaboration and communication

How are You managing the above challenges?

At Lantmännen the below three aspects has been important to consider when developing contract management further. EBG label them A single source of truth – Ease of use and End to end perspective.

A single source of truth

Increasing “business control” / compliance to contract policy both in terms of using Lantmännen templates and storing of contracts in one place  – creating a single source of truth

Ease of use

Having an easy and user-friendly system that is fast and enable a good workflow and e-signing

End-to-end perspective

Building a good foundation for working more with contract life cycle management and digitalization of Contract to Pay process (using cognitive tools to extract metadata from pdf files, using RPA to transfer contract information to ERP systems and checking invoices and compare with contractual terms and conditions)
