Purchasing Processes

The American Express Purchasing Process and Automation Study¹, produced in conjunction with Ernst & Young Management Consulting, demonstrates that the average cost to process a single purchase order can be reduced from US$90 to US$22 by using the American Express® Corporate Purchasing Card. These savings are achieved through decentralised ordering, receiving and reconciliation processes as well as reduce invoice processing by your accounts payable department.

This streamlined approach can help you:

Lower purchasing costs by up to 75%¹
Improve control over your purchasing
Simplify data management and regulatory compliance processes
Increase employee productivity

Billing and Payment Processes

Under traditional procurement methods, approximately 36%¹ of the total cost of order processing is associated with billing and payment. American Express Corporate Purchasing Solutions simplify this process by enabling you to consolidate expenses and make one payment. This reduces the costs associated with billing and payment by up to 96%¹.
