These issues can affect direct suppliers, but they can also occur anywhere throughout the supply chain, e.g., sub-tier suppliers, shipping and other logistics ser

Employees often struggle to track request statuses and chase approvals, while finance teams work to maintain control, slowing operations and increasing financial risks.
