Retail procurement jobs are going increasingly paperless, after it was claimed that many are opting for e-invoicing to cut costs.
Firms such as 7-Eleven, Tim Hortons and Restaurant Depot are beginning to see the potential savings from eliminating inefficiencies that plague the traditional invoicing process, according to solution provider Transcepta.
Restaurant Depot director of accounts payable Lora White said: “We’re really benefitting by moving away from the paper-based invoicing process.
“My staff productivity is increasing and the trading relationships with my suppliers are improving as well.”
Meanwhile, David Kraulis, senior manager of financial operations at Tim Hortons, explained that the move away from paper has helped the restaurant chain to become more efficient, green and in position to expand the firm without adding more costs.
The news comes after the Royal College of Nursing announced that its procurement processes were to go electronic.
