A global energy and chemicals producer — billions in revenue, thousands of employees — onboarded vendors the slow way. Manual data entry. Email chains. Spreadsheet updates. Compliance checks stacked on top. Every new vendor dragged.
With Accenture, the company built the workflow on Beyond Work in weeks. It collects the basics itself — vendor name, contact, business entity, engagement scope — in one place, so nobody re-keys the same fields into four systems.
When a vendor comes in, the platform generates the KYC forms and routes them to compliance and legal in one environment. Reviewers catch the gaps and ask for fixes without digging through email. Once the paperwork's done, procurement finalizes the record — no re-typing.
The numbers: onboarding cycles down by more than half, manual corrections down almost 40%, total process steps down about 30%. Teams got their time back for the work that needs judgment.
