Case Study: Reed improves spend visibility and accounts payable efficiency with Tradogram

Reed cuts purchase order processing to under 2 hours with Tradogram

Reed, a major UK-based recruitment agency, faced challenges with uncontrolled spending and a lack of structure in its procurement process. Without a formal approval workflow, purchase orders were sporadically issued, leading to untraceable maverick spending. To address this, Reed implemented the procurement software Tradogram to gain spend visibility and establish a controlled purchase-to-pay cycle.

By implementing Tradogram, Reed established a flexible hierarchy of approval workflows tailored to its multiple branches. The solution integrated with the company's Oracle AP system, automating data transfer and eliminating manual entry. Tradogram's implementation resulted in a net reduction in the procure-to-pay cycle time, drastically cut accounts payable processing, and provided key managers with full spend visibility before commitments are made.
