Why Choose PIA?
Experience and commitment to serving. Having worked with many of the largest US retailers is an invaluable learning experience. Being on the “outside, looking in” provides a unique vantage point to observe some of the best P2P operations in action.“Best in class” leaders are focused on learning – understanding why things happen. Recovering supplier funds is important, but the end goal is to improve operationally.
Our team averages 25+ years in the Procure-to-Pay space. We know how buyers think and negotiate supplier programs. We’ve witnessed market leaders transition from the manual world of paper to the paperless world of EDI. That knowledge and experience – along with lots of practice making good decisions – positions us to identify the best opportunities.
Our client’s success is really quite straightforward. Maximize recoveries – which are mutually beneficial – and share insights and knowledge that help them get better at P2P. We understand and accept that client success translates to lower recoveries and reduced fees over time…
What’s wrong with the client winning? Serving clients is a privilege and doing the right things sometimes means that you work yourself out of a job.
Our decision to transition to healthcare is a big step and we are passionate about the possibilities. We would welcome learning about needs you may have in the P2P area and understand cost reduction initiatives are plentiful and your time is valuable.
Thanks in advance for your interest.
