Expected Outcomes by Automation Area
- › Invoice processing: 65 to 80% reduction in processing time; 70 to 85% of invoices processed touchlessly
- › Vendor onboarding: 14 to 28 day cycle reduced to 3 to 7 days; staff time from 18 hrs to 2 to 3 hrs/vendor
- › PO cycle time: from 3 to 5 days to same-day for standard purchases
- › Staff reallocation: 40 to 60% of procurement admin time redirected to strategic activities
- › Compliance: near-100% certificate currency vs. 60 to 75% with manual tracking
Automation Reality Check
Automating a chaotic process creates faster chaos. Document and standardize processes before automating. Organizations that skip this typically re-implement within 18 months.

90-Day Automation Implementation Roadmap
- Days 1 to 30: Document current state: map existing processes, measure current metrics, identify top 3 automation opportunities
- Days 31 to 60: Configure and test: configure workflow rules, build forms, test with internal users
- Days 61 to 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 to 4 processes first; add complexity once adoption is established
- › Under-investing in change management: the best automation fails if people don't use it
