Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

Managing billions in complex services spend (e.g., rig maintenance, consulting), the company implemented a Vendor Management System (VMS). Instead of processing paper invoices, the system auto-generates invoices based on approved timesheets and milestone completions recorded in the field, ensuring payments match the contract exactly.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"Closing the loop on services spend. Services are harder to control than goods. By 'invoicing off the timesheet', the company ensures they only pay for work actually performed, eliminating 'zombie spend' on contractors who have left but are still billing."

warning The Challenge

High volume of contingent labor and service contracts. Invoices were often vague ('Professional Services') and difficult to verify against the Statement of Work (SOW). Overbilling was common and hard to detect.

psychology The Solution

Deployed SAP Fieldglass. Contractors enter time/milestones in the portal. Field supervisors approve it on mobile. The system auto-generates the invoice from the approved data (Evaluated Receipt Settlement for Services). No manual invoice entry is allowed.
