To prove the success of the P2P implementation project, Starwood tracked key metrics:
- More than 14,000 invoices each week no longer require manual entry, a 70% (and growing) reduction.
- As the Starwood P2P eco-system matures, the system will automatically process more than 1 million invoices per year in North America while providing a vastly improved user experience, better financial controls and spend visibility, which will enable greater savings.
