Organizations have had to “react and respond” by immediately pivoting and adapting to fast-changing government advice and regulations, as well as navigating to a “new normal” of greater supplier risk management and more agile investment decision-making. One of the most remarkable aspects of the Covid crisis is seeing how communities have come together to face the situation.

During this session you will learn more about:

  • How business spend management has evolved and has been impacted by the pandemic
  • How to know what projects to prioritize in times of uncertainty
  • Salling Group’s journey to Business Spend Management from selection and implementation to results

Learn how Salling Group navigate through the “new normal” with different spending trends and 12 weeks inventory. How they remain agile with fast changing regulations and critical management reporting.

Salling Group had no central solution with maverick buying, by phone orders and internal orders and store supplies in SAP. Their to-be including a controlled process from vendor selection and contract management through to financial analysis and tracking of performance across the entire P2P process.

What their strategies, considerations and ways forward have been and will be can be found out on November 25th!
