We helped a major internet ride-sharing company implement Coupa based on a single, streamlined, and user-friendly P2P process.
| Client | A major Chinese ride-sharing, AI and autonomous technology conglomerate |
|---|---|
| Sector | Startup and technology |
| Project | Procure-to-pay (P2P) transformation |
Our client’s poor user experience of their existent Procurement system led to over-reliance on their operational buyers. The processes designed to complement that system did not provide the expected efficiencies.
KPMG supported an enterprise P2P transformation, helping to design and build a single, streamlined, and user-friendly P2P process through an integrated Coupa P2P technology platform.
Client challenge
- Inefficient and complicated P2P processes resulted in large volumes of maverick buying behaviours.
- Ineffective and highly manual invoice approval process led to large volumes of invoice exceptions and matching activities.
- Absence of automated analytics tools to monitor contract utilization and to facilitate strategic sourcing activities.
Key challenges
Root cause
Key activities
- Approached the project using the design thinking process – process design and implementation revolved around improving the user’s experience.
- Designed the future-state procure to pay (P2P) process:
- Design and customise Coupa for country specific business processes, e.g. China specific tax-receipt (Fapiao) handling process.
- Evaluate client’s data flow complexity, and design the integration strategy and data flow requirements with Coupa and client IT team.
- Developed training and communication strategies to assure smooth transition to the new processes and new system.
- Develop and execute supplier enablement plan to complete supplier onboarding to Coupa (more than 200 suppliers); specific activities include Punch-out Supplier Integration (JD.com and Office Depot).
Execution principle
Outcomes
- Standardised and optimised procure-to-pay processes, which are realised through Coupa, covering 100 entities in China and U.S. branch, more than total of 1000 users.
- Improved user experience and the efficiency of P2P processes.
- Enabled more than 200 suppliers on Coupa at the time of Go-Live, and equipped the client with the capability of supplier enablement.
- Transformed and redefined the procurement’s operational roles and structure in transition to establishing a corporate shared service centre.
