Case Study: Rentokil Initial achieves a reduction in invoice cycle time from 61 to 16 days with SAP Ariba

Significant Reduction in Invoice Cycle Times

Rentokil Initial, a leading global business services company with 66,000 employees across 58 countries, faced costly, manual procure-to-pay processes: inconsistent approvals, time-consuming receipting, multiple supplier master files and scattered data that hampered compliance and efficiency.

By deploying Ariba Procure-to-Pay and Ariba Supplier Information and Performance Management (with Ariba Network), Rentokil automated purchasing, rationalized supplier data and began monitoring performance. The results: average invoice cycle time dropped from 61 to 16 days, over 400 users adopted the system with minimal training, 7,000 orders were processed in the first six months, automation freed resources for higher-value work and compliance and savings realization improved significantly.
