Our solutions are both soft (feelings) and hard (Data).

Soft solutions: We look at building a more cooperative accounts payable departments by listening to the business and sharing ideas on how we are going to be improving things, making them part of the solution is a way to build bridges and improve cooperation.

Hard solutions: We will look at the current yields of the accounts payable department in statistical and numerical terms, then follow up on the data as we improve to confirm there are quantifiable progresses.

This phase also referred to as “Solution identification” is

• The process of defining and mapping the current processes and identifying the weaknesses and wastes or non-value-added steps.
• Also identify the deviations or invoices that need to have their own flow to facilitate quicker turnaround time. (Business critical vendors, early payment discounts vendors etc…)

Depending on the situation we use either a single or a multi-pronged strategy to both contains the problems while building processes that will remove the issue once and for all.We have a variety of techniques and tools that have proven successful over many years of applications.

Process improvement techniques such as Kaizen and Lean Six Sigma.
