Why NHS SBS Chose Tradeshift
Processing 30,000 payment-related documents
per day from more than160,000 suppliers can be
incredibly time consuming. It takes up to 20
minutes per paper invoice.
Save Time
With so much paper and suppliers to manage,
countless human and machine errors can add
unnecessarily to staff workloads and cause
delays.
Reduce Rework
NHS suppliers large and small, are developing
and extending the reach of their business and
innovating every day, and NHS SBS needs to be
able to keep up.
Flexibility
As a responsible, forward-thinking public sector
organisation, they want to quickly scale and
evolve with suppliers, as well as bring innovative
solutions to market.
Evolution
NHS SBS needs timely, available, easy-to-use
tools to make quick decisions, manage spend,
and collaborate with their suppliers.
