What is a source to pay platform?

A source to pay (S2P) platform is an integrated system that manages the entire procurement lifecycle—from identifying and qualifying suppliers to making final payments. It combines sourcing, contract management, procurement, and accounts payable processes into one unified environment. A source to pay platform gives finance and procurement teams better control over spending, improved visibility into supplier performance, and stronger compliance with procurement policies.

What is source to pay automation?

Source to pay automation refers to the use of technology to digitize and automate each stage of the S2P process. This includes creating automated workflows for supplier onboarding, generating purchase requests, running sourcing events, managing contracts, and processing invoices. Automation removes manual bottlenecks, reduces errors, accelerates approvals, and lowers operational costs by minimizing paperwork and repetitive tasks.
