The report is based on an independent survey of 2,000 business leaders commissioned by Celonis across six countries and eight different industries. It found significant execution gaps between average and best-in-class performance in the core business functions of Accounts Payable (A/P), Accounts Receivable (A/R), Procurement and Order Management.
Based on the report analysis, these could be costing companies hundreds of millions of dollars in missed opportunities.
Those surveyed called out broken or inefficient processes as one of the top three obstacles for Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and Procurement. In fact, in Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable, respondents cited rigid systems and technologies as the biggest obstacle to performing at their full execution capacity — the maximum level of performance a company can achieve with its available time and resources.
