A telco giant was suffering from its cumbersome P2P process. Typical procurement included from office supplies to complex procurement negotiations like data access and the P2P cycle touches multiple departments and systems. The nature of such a complex and department- jumping process makes P2P process a good fit for process mining. Applying purchase to pay process mining showed the potential to save $3M in annual savings.
