P2P INTEGRATION

Adding bang for your buck with our P2P integration

 

Keen to improve your business efficiency, reduce costs, ensure compliance and gain better visibility into your procurement and payment process?

It involves integrating various systems such as procurement, accounting, and payment systems to make everything run smoothly.

At Commercial we offer customised P2P integration systems that create seamless end-to-end processes.

A partner you can trust.

CHALLENGES TO CONSIDER

Picking the right P2P partner

When there’s so much at stake you want to make sure your P2P process is in safe hands. Here are some key considerations to take into account, before you embark on a new partnership.

Finding the right partner

With so many P2P integration providers in the market, it can be hard to find one that suits your requirements exactly. Our customised approach ensures we can tailor solutions to suit your needs.

Integration with existing systems
It can be challenging to integrate P2P systems with current processes. Thankfully, our team of experts have the knowledge to ensure a seamless integration.
Data migration
If you’re transitioning from a manual or paper-based system then data migration is especially tricky. We have the skills and experience to migrate data without loss or corruption.
Customisation
Meeting specific business needs can be a challenge when integrating P2P systems. Our customised solutions take away that issue.
Cost
Implementing a P2P system can be expensive. We recommend conducting a cost-benefit analysis to ensure that the benefits of implementing the system outweigh the costs. Plus, our transparent pricing policy supports your budgeting and avoids any nasty surprises.

our word for it…

Commercial deliver. We are fortunate to work with some amazing partners. Here are some examples of great things we hear every day.

The Tesco procurement team have been delighted with the way Commercial share our desire to entrench sustainability into our supply chain – we really are kindred spirits. Our ethical and sustainability policies are of paramount importance to our reputation and the Commercial team reviewed and approved all products in a short timeframe. Commercial are already committed to the ETI base code and are working on achieving EcoVadis accreditation for all suppliers on the Tesco account.
The new Walsall Housing Group office is a fantastic, fresh and modern workplace thanks to the wonderful work of the Commercial interiors team. They created a steering group to work alongside us to understand our demands and held regular meetings during the design process to keep us informed of the progress. Our desire was for a more collaborative space, with meeting booths and one-to-one seating, rather than traditional desks – and they delivered a fantastic final fit-out over the full four-floor building.
Each year, Commercial supplies accessory packs to graduate trainees at a leading accountancy firm, which are then picked, packed, and delivered to their home addresses by the Commercial Foundation. This not only guarantees that every new employee has the necessary equipment to be productive from their first day but also allows their IT team to focus on other responsibilities. Collaborating with the Commercial Foundation generates substantial social value returns on investment for the firm and contributes to improving the lives of the Foundation's volunteers.
Wollens have enjoyed a long-standing and fruitful partnership with Commercial because they are always introducing innovations and improvements to our IT environment. As the threat of cyber-attacks increases it was vital that we strengthened our capabilities for dealing with a ransomware attack with a cloud-based backup solution. Our solution means data cannot be altered or deleted, giving us a crucial way of recovering data to minimise any potential downtime and financial losses
Working with Commercial for our branded materials has proved to be effective and collaborative. The team is efficient and they listen to requests for improvements. Commercial has made branded goods simple.
As E-commerce in retail continues to grow, Commercial’s stock-management and fulfilment expertise has allowed a leading UK retailer to free huge amounts of warehouse space. Commercial took on the stocking of our employee uniform, transferring to a new supplier with the management of the supply being consolidated into their existing supply accounts. Not only did this free vital space in their distribution centre, the consolidated supply of all GNFR delivered significant delivery cost savings.
At JoJo Maman Bébé we are happy to work with the Commercial Foundation and support inspiring work they do to help disadvantaged young adults. Like us, the Foundation are a B Corp certified organisation that is proven to put purpose ahead of profits. We have enjoyed working with their volunteers to help with a mug-making activity. We are now working alongside them to create an introduction gift for our new employees, these include printed mugs, pens and notebooks.
