EDI and procurement performance

Data quality drives purchasing value

In PwC's Digital Procurement study, the large majority of highly digitalised companies report that data quality has increased the value added by their purchasing function. France started later but is catching up quickly, particularly on transaction digitalisation.

Distribution is the fastest mover

• Nearly half of French purchasing departments have already digitalised transactions
• Adoption is expected to rise sharply within a few years
• Distribution shows one of the strongest projected increases

From transaction to leverage

Automating order and invoice exchange frees buyers from clerical work and, more importantly, produces the clean history needed to negotiate, forecast and measure supplier performance.
