We are working closely with our suppliers to achieve the 30-day target for vendors with less than 50 employees. In line with this, we are always looking for ways to further improve our communication when it comes to our suppliers and we aim to make working with ISG as simple and efficient as possible. We have projects in place to streamline – particularly our incoming ‘source-to-pay’ system. This is due to go live H2 2022. It will significantly improve ISG’s ability to achieve further automation and efficiency to the benefit of our supply chain.

Dispute resolution process

The company actively seeks to resolve disputes in a timely manner. This process will involve the Accounts Payable team and where necessary the Supply Chain team, Commercial teams and Senior Management. A member of the team will contact the supplier to discuss the dispute. Supplier relationships, managed more & more in a structured way, ensure we very rarely have the need for formal dispute resolution processes. If it is not possible to reach an agreement suitable to both parties then other methods of dispute resolution may include but are not limited to adjudication, litigation etc. as determined by the companies’ legal department. This is very much seen as a last resort.
