Integrate and collaborate across your supplier network to reduce risk and maximise cash

Your supplier network is your lifeline. Can you see the risks in it? Basware Open Network enables full visibility over all transactions in your network. Not only does this help mitigate risk and boost monitoring of supplier performance, it lets you see all of your spend in real time.

Consider how greater network collaboration will also affect your cash positions – when you know precisely the value of your incoming invoices and when they are due. You can speed up your cash conversion cycles, helping to finally eliminate late-payment fees and open the door to early-payment discounts.

Open networks also make it easier to extend your growth into new markets by helping secure key suppliers from around the world. Since the network is open, you also have greater freedom in selecting your suppliers.

Through adopting such processes, the City of Helsinki now enjoys easy ordering and even quicker deliveries through seamless integration with the supplier’s ordering systems. Requisitioners have access to a contract-based online catalogue that enables their orders to be directed electronically from the City’s e-Procurement system to their suppliers’ sales order solutions. The lessons learned? The more you integrate your extended enterprise, the greater the rewards on offer.

  • Collaboration underpins risk management – be aware of supply risks before they even become a concern
  • Heightened network collaboration increases your spend visibility – see cash outflows in real time for better cash management
  • Open Network connectivity maximises supplier on-boarding – accelerating sending of electronic invoices, purchase orders, catalogues, and more
