Babcock is a defence and aerospace company, providing services to defence agencies around the world. To enable this, its Procurement & Supply Chain function has a critical role to play.

However, each of Babcock’s four main divisions was operating with its own Source-to-Pay (S2P) process, technology and organisational structure. Babcock’s leadership recognised the opportunity to address this and improve performance, helping the business meet its strategic aims - and called on KPMG to help.

We conducted a thorough review and recommended a single S2P solution utilising the Coupa platform, delivered through KPMG’s proven Powered transformation approach.

Through strong collaboration between Babcock, KPMG and Coupa, we worked to make the transformation a reality, with results including:

  • Multi-million pound cost savings across Procurement & Supply Chain
  • Improved experience for end users with lower requisition times
  • Faster invoice approval cycle times
  • Enhanced supplier on-boarding and risk management processes
