December 19, 2024
Transform your finance and procurement processes with our specially designed solutions. Unlock efficiency, control and cost savings that drives measurable value for your business.
There has never been a harder time to be in the Oil, Gas and Energy business. Finance and procurement leaders are facing serious headwinds that are upending the industry. Volatility in commodity prices, regulatory changes and increasing sustainability and environmental concerns. It’s all putting pressure on the bottom line where businesses are expected to do more with less.
Leaders need complete visibility and control of their spend. They need to free up their teams from manual, time consuming tasks so they can add more value to the business. They need to do this without disrupting their core operations and business activities. In truth, they can’t do this alone.
That’s where we come in, we are Source to Pay (S2P) transformation experts. We help you get control over your spend, lower your costs and achieve measurable value. We have designed solutions specifically to address the unique challenges you face everyday. We unite your people with the right technology and processes in line with best practices. All whilst not disrupting your day-to-day business activities and delivering a measurable ROI.
We Understand the Challenges in the Oil, Gas and Energy Industry
Our team has had extensive experience working with a range of different businesses. Our team has had experience with some Oil, Gas and Energy companies and one thing is clear. Each business is unique and requires a solution that tailors for their circumstances. We’ve seen Oil, Gas and Energy businesses trying to keep up with many changes in the industry. Growing sustainability expectations, advancements in technology and economic volatility. They all make it harder to drive your business forward and grow profitability.
These changes exacerbate existing challenges within the industry. Our team have seen Oil, Gas and Energy businesses struggling with:
Complex Supply Chains
Oil, Gas and Energy businesses usually have complex supply chains. Multiple suppliers, remote locations and diverse product requirements all need to be managed. This creates difficulties in managing procurement processes, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs.
High Capital Expenditure
The Oil, Gas and Energy business is an expensive one. Significant investment is required for exploration, production and infrastructure. This puts extra pressure on financial management to deliver results. They need to optimise capital allocation and ensure a return on investment.
Risk Management
In a highly regulated and politically important industry, managing risk is a challenge. Businesses are trying to handle their exposure to a range of risks. Things like geopolitical risks, market volatility and operational hazards. They need comprehensive risk assessment and mitigation strategies. To meet these challenges they need to implement dynamic supplier and cost management and flexible procurement strategies.
Data Management and Visibility
Oil, Gas and Energy businesses are data rich businesses. There are large volumes of data from various sources and systems across the supply chain. This poses a big challenge, lots of data in lots of different places. It makes it difficult to get accurate, real-time insights for decision-making.
Our insights have been informed by our work with the Energy Development Corporation
