Identifying the gaps within your ScS processing capabilities
ScS wanted to streamline their procure-to-pay process by reducing paper-based communications across their offices. By digitalising their processes, they could automatically export and import data onto a centralised platform, whilst ensuring data integrity.
Martin Dale, Operations Director, ScS said:
“We needed to work with a company that was flexible, understood NAV and our EDI requirements, and could liaise with our suppliers. Cegedim e-business understood our requirements and built a solution to meet our needs.”
