Who are we ?
Bluemers provides professional services to help businesses implement digital cloud-based solutions for finance and procurement. What make us so different is that we are an association of Experts with extremely proficient skills and vast experience. Our team is composed of 15+ experienced expert with proofed Project implementation success. We can work as association or as independant, based on your need. Our range of expertise covers the full Source to Pay processes : Supplier onboarding, Sourcing, Contract, Purchase orders, Travel & Expenses, Invoices & Invoice Portals: from Design to Hypercare.
Our difference
At Bluemers, we believe in getting our hands dirty and working closely with our clients on the ground. We don't just sell hypothetical concepts; we dive deep into the details, and that makes a significant difference. We offer long-term support, from the initial design phase to the GO live stage, or we can provide assistance on a specific issue to compensate for a temporary lack of expertise within your team. As your implementation partner may only provide junior consultants, we can step in and provide you with expert support to temporarily reinforce your staffing.
We are Implementation Managers
As Implementation Managers, our role is to act on your behalf when dealing with Implementation Partners. This is necessary because there may be occasions where conflicting interests arise and incorrect decisions are made.
What we do more ?
At Bluemers, we are not just experts, but we are also support model experts, which sets us apart from other consulting firms. While traditional Implementation partners focus solely on project delivery, they often make decisions that may benefit the project but can negatively impact the RUN processes in the long term. Once the Hypercare phase is over, they may leave you to deal with the challenges of data maintenance. We take a different approach by providing ongoing support to ensure the long-term success of your digital transformation. We have developed a range of support models and can offer pre-filled catalogs of maintenance requests to streamline the process and alleviate the burden from your team.
Our Coupa Expertise
We have a track record of successfully implementing various Procurement systems, but we are particularly impressed with the capabilities of Coupa, which we consider to be the best solution on the market. In fact, we were the first to manage a worldwide implementation of Coupa back in 2013, and since then, we have continued to work exclusively with this platform.
Why Coupa ?
Coupa's cloud-based spend management technology allows users to gain better visibility into their overall business spend and compare it with trillions of dollars of business spend data. This is facilitated by an AI-enabled platform that optimizes spend, reduces risk, and enhances efficiency. The technology offered by Coupa is not only top-notch but also functionally rich and cost-effective, providing a comprehensive set of tools and methodologies. By replacing outdated systems that often lead to slow and labor-intensive processes, which can drain energy and enthusiasm, the technology opens up room for innovation.
