Many P2P vendors are focusing on addressing customer needs by offering various configurable workflow processes for approval workflow, invoice matching workflow, supplier & employee review workflow, and others. Vendors are also offering robust integration capabilities to provide real-time visibility into spend and procurement activities. Organizations are looking at P2P solutions that offer an AI-based guided buying user experience that will enable them to select the right solution or product and simplify the decision-making process through an intuitive interface.
