Australian Paper is one of the largest manufacturers of paper in Australia. They produce a wide range of products, including office paper, envelopes, and packaging materials.
Australian Paper recognised that they needed to improve their procurement processes and reduce costs in order to stay competitive in the market. They therefore decided to partner with B2BE, a global provider of e-commerce solutions, to help them achieve these goals.
What solutions did Australian Paper implement?
B2BE worked with Australian Paper to implement a range of solutions. These included electronic purchase orders, electronic invoices, and an electronic supplier portal. These solutions helped streamline the procurement process and make it more efficient. Electronic purchase orders eliminated the need for manual processing, reducing the risk of errors and speeding up the order process. The electronic invoices were also faster and more accurate, reducing the need for manual data entry and the risk of errors.
The electronic supplier portal was a key component of the solution. It provided suppliers with access to real-time information about their orders and invoices, allowing them to manage their own accounts and resolve any issues quickly. This reduced the workload on the Australian Paper procurement team and improved supplier relationships.
The implementation of these solutions resulted in significant cost savings for Australian Paper. They were able to reduce their purchase order processing time by 80%, which resulted in a 50% reduction in procurement costs. The electronic invoices also helped to reduce processing time. The supplier portal helped to improve supplier relationships, which resulted in better pricing and further cost savings.
