Invoice Management in the shipping industry operates through the use of specialized software that automates the invoicing process. It allows for companies to digitally capture and store invoices, streamline invoice approval, and manage vendor payments.
It streamlines the process from ship to shore e.g. from the crew being able to request parts on the ship efficiently to office staff easily being able to handle invoices to sharing information with external stakeholders.
Highlights of invoice management:
1# Inventory management
It is key to be able to manage information about components, locations, jobs, history, certificates and spare parts. Inventory Management offers an overview of your inventory, which is essential when it comes to the maintenance and procurement processes of your fleet.
2# Syncs with you ERP system
By syncing the existing system, you have better financial control with purchase orders in real time and constant access to invoice information. This enables you to synchronize master data of your fleet with minimum effort in one shared data source rather than several individual digital and/or manual systems.
Selecting the appropriate system for maritime procurement can be a challenging task due to the presence of multiple variables to consider. Identifying a company’s needs and goals is crucial as it provides a clear understanding of the requirements and objectives the system must align. Start by asking yourself the questions:
- Do my vessels need constant access to the system?
- Should the system be able to integrate with other systems?
- Do we need to centralize data?
- How user-friendly should the system be?
Ask other procurement managers or experts is also a great opportunity.
SERTICA Marine Procurement for ships
In this demo you see a short demonstration of how SERTICA Maritime Procurement works on a vessel. Simplicity is a key word when talking about on-board systems. The designated crew can easily request specific spare parts, equipment and items. Once the request is pushed for approval the crew can follow the status of the requests and orders. If you wish to experience a full demo of what our Purchase Order System can do for both the office and vessels, please contact us.”SERTICA gives us full control and insight into purchasing.
