“We enable organizations to unlock new efficiencies, improve visibility and take control of their costs. As a result, they are able to liberate their cash flows and explore the possibilities of real-time economies,” says Tihilä. In an implementation highlight, a limited corporation of Finnish Civil Aviation Administration, Finavia had a decentralized procurement system which increased their process costs. The customer needed to adopt an e-Procurement system to support centralized Purchase-to-Pay solution. They found that gaining complete transparency in procurement process was difficult. Basware helped them solve their problem through its solution, Basware Procurement which enabled the customer to make 80 percent of their purchases through e-Procurement where the product catalogs were displayed by the preferred suppliers. Additionally the customer gained complete visibility across supply chain through Basware’s Purchase-to-Pay suite. “We were able to carry out centralized procurement operations unambiguously, and with Basware P2P system we ensured that the procurement function has all the tools it needs for the continuous development of operations,” says Sanna Valkeinen, System Specialist at Finavia.
After having a well-established portfolio of Purchase-to-Pay solution, Basware is now planning to provide an innovative edge to its e-invoicing solution by adding new financing services. Additionally, the company is aiming to improvise the efficiency of its products and processes such as e-invoicing and e-Procurement by making it available on cloud. “We have a well-defined strategy to make our services available through digital channels, as well as maintaining global market leadership in Purchase-to-Pay solutions,” concludes Tihilä.
