## About i2B Connect
i2B is a leading supplier onboarding and purchase to pay software provider which started life in 1999. It was born out of a frustration of our clients dealing with endless fire fighting within the supply chain – phone calls to check on deliveries, emails to check on payments, systems to update and quite frankly not enough hours in the day. There had to be a better way and a way for people to communicate within the supply chain, so i2B Connect was created to do just that. i2B Connect removes the shuffling of papers and endless phone calls from suppliers. We make everything easily accessible and all within the cloud. We’ve come a long way since 1999; our team has won numerous awards, we have clients all over the globe and we’re proud to say that we’re still working with many of the same leading brands today as we were back then! The chosen software solution provider for leading brands including: Princes Foods and Drinks, Aggreko, Weir Valves &amp; Controls, Weir Engineering, Trillium Flow Technologies, LGC Group, Titus Industrial, Armitage Shanks, Boots and Storey Carpets.

## i2B Connect Reviews
  ### 1. Cloud-based platform for easy access from anywhere

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** BURGOS EDUARDO S. | Marketing Manager, Research, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 17, 2024

**What do you like best about i2B Connect?**

Through using i2B Connect, our supplier onboarding process has become much more efficient. Our team has benefited significantly from the automated questionnaires and the automated approval process, compared to the previous, manual approach.

**What do you dislike about i2B Connect?**

I get the impression it is missing certain levels of granularity if you will for spend classification and spend analysis. The key problem is that one cannot break down the expenses by product type, which greatly hinders the potential for cost optimization.

**What problems is i2B Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Before implementing i2B Connect, the procure-to-pay cycle of Ascend was full of serious inefficiencies. i2B Connect has brought some of these tasks online, which has helped me reduce the time I spend on such tasks.

  ### 2. Streamlining the procure-to-pay process

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Roberto R. | Project Strategy Director, Telecommunications, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 18, 2024

**What do you like best about i2B Connect?**

i2B Connect has helped me in solving my supplier onboarding problem. Automated questionnaires and document management are very efficient compared to manual system which we have used before.

**What do you dislike about i2B Connect?**

As such, I believe there is a lack of granularity that will be essential when conducting detailed spend analysis. Sometimes I require analysis using other programs or excel sheets for further break downs of suppliers’ performances or costs.

**What problems is i2B Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Through i2B Connect, we have been able to enhance the way in which procure to pay cycle is executed. New suppliers are easier to integrate, the interaction with vendors is easier and purchase orders are generated.
