Axendor Advisory
An independent governance lead when procurement, finance and operations no longer work as one chain.
Axendor operates at the intersection of Procurement, Finance, AP, IT, business users and suppliers. The work is pragmatic: identify where control breaks down, redesign the operating model, clarify ownership, and support implementation until the solution works in daily operations.
Challenges addressed
Visible symptoms often point to deeper structural issues.
Recurring P2P exceptions
Blocked invoices, unclear GR/SES logic, non-PO disputes, payment delays, and manual workarounds become operational routine.
Weak supplier governance
Supplier onboarding, vendor master data, IBAN changes, approval thresholds, and compliance controls lack robust governance.
Low buying channel discipline
Maverick buying, weak catalog governance, poor annual PO controls, and limited PO compliance reduce financial control.
Tools without a stable operating model
SAP, Ariba, Coupa, and other platforms create limited value when roles, policies, workflows, and governance rituals remain unclear.
Limited KPI visibility
Without a root-cause view of invoice rejections, touchless rate, PO compliance, and supplier issues, improvement remains reactive.

Expertise
Four pillars connecting strategy, governance, and execution.

Guided buying, spend segmentation, buying channels, and the balance between standardization and business exceptions.

Buying-to-Pay Execution & Controls

Method
A root-cause approach, not another layer of process.
Diagnose
Map the S2P flow, analyze PO and non-PO spend, review tickets, invoice exceptions, policies, systems, and supplier pain points.
Find root causes
Separate symptoms from structural issues: missing ownership, wrong approval logic, system gaps, poor data, or unclear handovers.
Design the target model
Define the operating model, RACI, buying channels, supplier governance, controls, policies, escalations, and KPIs.
Prioritize the roadmap
Rank actions by impact, risk, complexity, and business urgency to build a pragmatic 30/60/90-day trajectory.
Implement and stabilize
Support workshops, training, adoption, governance rituals, and continuous improvement until the model works operationally.
Anonymized experience
Concrete work across S2P control, governance, and operational execution.
Telecommunications
