Improve your Procure-to-Pay Process with Silico

Procure-to-pay processes at large enterprises can be highly complex processes, involving many steps and several teams.

Business Process Simulation (BPS) with Silico helps you optimise the efficiency of your procure-to-pay process to generate cost savings and cash improvements, manage supply chain risks, and improve supplier relationships. Your transformation teams can use Silico to analyse your current, as-is procure-to-pay process, test alternative process designs digitally, and thereby optimise the ROI of your transformation initiatives and process changes.

Create a Digital Twin of your procure-to-pay process to continuously monitor, analyse, and optimise it – from initial purchase requests and POs, through goods and invoice receipts, all the way to vendor payment. Silico is built from the ground up to expand your procure-to-pay Twin into a full Digital Twin of the Enterprise (DTE) iteratively, with value generated at each step at minimum risk, time, and cost. Start your company’s DTE journey and rapidly expand your FutureSight into supply chains, capacity, and inventory management.

Silico lets us make future decisions that benefit the whole organisation rather than individual business units and promotes transparency to align stakeholders around change initiatives.

We have a range of other process mapping solutions including SAP but Silico makes it easier for us to understand and interact with the model.

With Silico, we can iteratively develop business process simulation models that predict the impact of future changes on our order-to-cash process and link those directly to business outcomes and financials even where processes are not system-based and without months of data collection.

How to get started with your Procure-to-Pay Simulation

Silico can simulate your procure-to-pay process and evaluate alternative process designs in four weeks with an understanding of your current process, for example, from process maps or generated in Silico with your team.

We would also require realistic values for relevant variables such as processing times and available resources and your ideas for process changes.

A full Digital Twin of your procure-to-pay process also requires real-time data integration to your relevant systems and an understanding of decisions and problems of your operational decision-makers

How it Works...

Let’s take a look at how a procure-to-pay process simulation model works with Silic:

Model your business in Silico

Use existing process assets including process maps and mining graphs to virtually replicate your processes and link processes together as well as to commercial outcomes.

Synchronise with real-time data

We integrate all relevant data sources, including process mining, process maps, and task mining, as well as ERP and CRM systems.

Analyse your as-is process

Run forward-looking scenarios to ensure your processes are future-proof, identify issues before they occur, and focus transformation efforts.

Prioritise process changes

Silico provides a risk-free, virtual environment to experiment with improvement ideas to identify the combination of actionable process changes that optimise the KPIs that matter to your stakeholders.

Optimise your process

Monitor your processes in real time and use advanced AI features to identify the most impactful improvement initiatives and operational actions for optimal business process performance.

Sync your data:

Silico connects to your ERP Platform, CRM and other key data sources.

Simulate:

We then digitally recreate your cost and revenue models on a product-by-product and consolidated basis in Silico.

Run what-if scenarios:

Use our graphical interface to run scenarios over raw material prices or transportation costs.

Explore scenarios:

Explore scenarios and forward-looking dashboards to identify the margin impact of changing cost drivers.

Optimise:

Use AI to identify the right interventions to optimise for improved margins.
