Dispute resolution process
We manage all queries through an incident management tool . We have a dedicated team to match the invoices and resolve any queries.
If there is a dispute, we would call/email the relevant vendors and follow up with an email to resolve. All queries raised by vendors are usually resolved within 7 days.
We have an escalation matrix which is shared with all the vendors.
We conduct periodic governance on the performance of the query team to ensure that queries are resolved timely and satisfactorily, thereby ensuring a build-up of invoices on hold is avoided and vendors are paid accurately.
