Branch: Peterborough & Cambridge
Aims
Clerical processing of a high volume of low value orders is still the norm in many organisations. Why? Not only are administrative costs incurred, but also the ‘opportunity costs’ of taking up buyers’ time that could be spent more profitably. With the cost of raising, and paying the invoice, on a typical low value order estimated at £50 this adds up to a sizeable problem.
Purchasing cards can prove an effective way to keep transaction costs to a minimum as well as offering more effective expenditure analysis from management information, improved audit control, reduced ‘maverick’ spend, environmental benefits such as reduced paper work, and prompt payment for suppliers by the card-issuing bank
