ISG is committed to continual improvement with regards to systems and ensuring that vendors will be paid in line with target dates. In support of this we are implementing a new source to pay and ERP systems. While in the short term the implementations may have a negative impact on payment performance, by the end of 2023 all businesses will be live with the ERP and Purchase to Pay system which will significantly improve ISG’s ability to increase 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.
