REMAINING COMPETITIVE IN THE 4TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

In the midst of the 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR), humanity is facing huge economic, social and environmental changes. Consumers also have evolving expectations regarding the quality, cost and sustainability of products. Accordingly, the companies manufacturing these goods require flexibility and agility throughout the supply chain.

Competing in this setting requires supply chain resilience and line retention through seamless, agile, collaborative and reliable processes. As machinery and production processes are being revolutionized, optimizing the P2P cycle should get equal attention. Streamlining supply chains enables industrial equipment manufacturers to focus resources on the strategic areas of their business.

STRENGTHENING SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIPS

Since industrial equipment manufacturers inhabit an intermediary role in the production chain of goods, reliably having everything they need available is essential. Also, equipment is expensive, so manufacturers need to be cost-effective elsewhere. Esker’s P2P solution supports this need by helping companies:

  • Consistently deliver accurate, on-time supplier payments

  • Avoid blocked orders thanks to rapid dispute resolutions and real-time communication tools

  • Provide real-time visibility into invoice approvals and payment status

  • Offer suppliers the choice of how to transmit documents

  • Simplify invoice creation with flip PO capabilities

Both consumer demand and noticeable climate change are pushing businesses away from focusing entirely on reducing costs to building sustainable supply chains and minimizing their carbon footprint.
