Theme Discussion | How do you climb the procurement maturity ladder through purchase to pay optimisation?
Stora Enso is monitoring their procurement maturity scale and act in order to climb the maturity ladder. In the past years Stora Enso, with a de-centralized organisation, has developed the category management structure, sourcing practices, data harmonisation and a service center plan. They also work to improve their purchase to pay processes through process mapping, data harmonisation, robotic process automation (RPA) projects and ways to overcome a scattered system landscape. Discuss lessons learned and compare with your organisation.
- How are you taking control over your purchase to pay processes (PO coverage/3 way matching/data mining etc) and what the main drivers for KPIs improvements in P2P process ?
- If you don’t have an end-to-end system – are you using RPA or other ways to overcome system gaps?
- What are you choosing to do in-house versus outsourcing to a service center? And if you select outsourcing service center , why ?

About Source 2 Pay Summit
For the 10th (!) time – we meet in Stockholm across functions and industries to share knowledge and experiences in creating operational efficiency with an effect.
Businesses need to become leaner and more agile, adapting to constant change which affect both how data is managed and what the people in the organization can expect business wise. The need too be data literate and continuously improve processes is no longer ahead – we see it here and now. What does that mean to you?
Source 2 Pay Summit reflect on how to become faster but also how to become wiser. We know businesses might need to automate just to find time to be more strategic – let’s share ideas on how! We know businesses still operate in silos – let’s break those walls, discuss how to measure, act and communicate across an organization. We know costs have to be cut and administrative work taken away or outsourced – let’s discuss the best possible ways in order to not loose valuable information and competences.
Welcome!
