Expected Outcomes by Automation Area
- › Invoice processing — 65–80% reduction in processing time; 70–85% of invoices processed touchlessly
- › Vendor onboarding — 14–28 day cycle reduced to 3–7 days; staff time from 18 hrs to 2–3 hrs/vendor
- › PO cycle time — from 3–5 days to same-day for standard purchases
- › Staff reallocation — 40–60% of procurement admin time redirected to strategic activities
- › Compliance — near-100% certificate currency vs. 60–75% with manual tracking

90-Day Automation Implementation Roadmap
- Days 1–30: Document current state — map existing processes, measure current metrics, identify top 3 automation opportunities
- Days 31–60: Configure and test — configure workflow rules, build forms, test with internal users
- Days 61–90: Launch and measure — go live with pilot group, measure against baseline, iterate
3 Common Automation Pitfalls
- › Automating before standardizing — inconsistent processes cannot be effectively automated; standardize first
- › Over-automating in Year 1 — automate the highest-impact 3–4 processes first; add complexity once adoption is established
- › Under-investing in change management — the best automation fails if people don't use it
