Pobl Group improves spend management processes with PROACTIS
Purchase-to-Pay
PROACTIS, a global Spend Control and eProcurement solution
provider, today announced that the Pobl Group has extended its use
of the PROACTIS Purchase-to-Pay solution to ensure better
visibility and control of corporate spend across the group.
Pobl Group was created by the merger of Seren Group and Grŵp
Gwalia in 2016. As a new, single group their aim is to create more
affordable homes, provide more support to enable people to live the
life they want and offer the highest quality care to meet the needs
of an ageing population. The group currently manages over 16,000
homes and provides support for over 9,000 people.
Following the merger, the group went through a period of
enterprise system change, with the identification and selection of
a new financial solution – OpenAccounts implemented by Orchard.
They also undertook a competitive tender process for a new
Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) solution. PROACTIS was successful in
retaining the contract for P2P and extending its adoption to the
wider group.
The group wanted to gain more control of their spend and ensure
that staff were involved and accountable. The single, unified
solution across all sites now provides Pobl Group with a consistent
Purchase-to-Pay process that seamlessly interfaces with the new
finance system, improving budgetary control and committed spend
management; while also satisfying specific requirements such as one
source of accurate data and a self-service system to eliminate
paper waste.
The Seren part of Pobl Group had not previously utilised a
formal, electronic P2P solution. Working closely with PROACTIS, the
organisation focused on achieving business transformation with a
range of jointly agreed initiatives to help drive full engagement
from all levels of the group, supporting rapid adoption and
cultural change.
Tom Cadwallader, Head of Procurement at Pobl Group stated: “We
selected PROACTIS based on our experience of using the solution in
one side of the group for the last three years. It proved to be the
most efficient way of raising requisitions and orders, ensuring
budgetary control and streamlining processes with user friendliness
being a key factor. The committed project team from PROACTIS met
our specific requirements in tight timescales, delivering a P2P
solution that could support the whole business.”
PROACTIS P2P interfaces with OpenAccounts and enables better
management of planned and committed spend, improved budgetary
control, streamlined processes and compliance controls.
