Blockchain for Procure to Pay - Fastened Monitoring and Disbursement

Procure-to-Pay (PTP) is a multi-step process that connects a client with one or more service/product providers.
Furthermore, it involves identification and authentication of stakeholders, budgeting, invoicing, and payment settlement.

Challenges in the Traditional PTP Process

Procure-to-pay is a complex business processes, spanning multiple systems and operations. It is vulnerable to fraud, money laundering, and process inefficiencies. Being a critical business process involving huge cash flows, it has to address various challenges in terms of operational processes, transactions, and visibility across the supply chain. The current procure-to-pay process is beset with inefficiencies, such as manual and time-consuming functions, duplicate data, and more issues in reconciliation.

Given below are the common PTP challenges that impair the ability
to effectively execute and manage the key activities.

  • Reduced Accuracy A manual, paper-based data entry process escalates the risk of errors
  • Lack of Visibility Delayed exchange and accessibility of information across the supply chain
  • Forged Invoicing Inexistence of centralized history of transactions
  • Delayed Transactions Manual routing and sign-off processes decelerate the payments
  • High Costs per Invoice Resolution of human errors increases the cost per invoice
