How Ontic Connects FP&A and Procurement
Ontic's small finance team needed to maintain budgets, track approvals, and report financial performance — all with limited resources. Sudozi unified FP&A, procurement, and legal workflows into one platform.
Problem
Ontic's small finance team was being tasked with a lot of responsibilities: maintaining the company's budget, making sure approvals were made and tracked in alignment with budget, and reporting financial performance for the company.
Solution
Sudozi provided a single platform to log approvals, automate vendor renewals, and manage P&L reporting — consolidating what previously required multiple tools.
Outcome
Sudozi has enabled the team to run a robust process to capture spend intent before vendor contracts are signed, helping the team grow efficiently and aligned with strategy. After onboarding Sudozi, Ontic was also able to save money by using Sudozi for FP&A and multiple spend reporting needs.
How Sudozi Helps Ontic:
Enabling durable growth
Sudozi's self-serve functionality enables durable growth in two ways. First, the Ontic team can directly manage spend with their custom approval workflows that are a fit to the company's needs. Second, Sudozi powers more than just approvals. Sudozi helps the Ontic team automate vendor renewal reminders, P&L insights, department budget visibility, and much more.
Providing employees with an easy-to-use procurement tool
As a fast-moving startup, Ontic's employees expect modern UI and easy-to-use experiences in the app that don't take months of training. Sudozi does just that with features that are self explanatory and intuitive for the average employee and manager to easily grasp.
Scaling finance team members
Sudozi's self-serve analytics gives different team leaders the visibility to their vendor information and OpEx spend. Normally these individual reports would take hours each month to compile and share. With Sudozi, the Ontic team can focus their time deriving insights from the data rather than compiling the data.
After onboarding Sudozi
Sudozi's Procurement solution has helped Ontic run an efficient approval process without being overbearing on employees. Close to 100% of new spend requests come through Sudozi.
Sudozi has been able to surface financial insights faster than manual alternatives, allowing the Ontic team to focus on the highest priorities.
Ontic's finance team can stay lean as they grow the business by multiples.
How Ontic Legal Team Stay Proactive and Efficient with Sudozi
Problem
Ontic's legal team was constantly chasing contracts at the last minute, digging through email threads, shared drives, and disparate tools to find vendor agreements. There was no centralized visibility into contract status, approvals, or blockers.
Solution
Sudozi provided a single source of truth for all vendor contracts, real-time visibility into every contract in-flight, and streamlined legal workflows integrated directly with procurement and finance.
Outcome
Legal is now looped in earlier, preventing last-minute scrambles. Turnaround time for third-party paper was reduced, and the team can respond faster to the business while reducing risk.
Sudozi gives us clear visibility into every vendor contract in-flight — status, approvals, and blockers — so legal is looped in earlier. Instead of chasing contracts at the last minute, we're involved at the right time to support the business and reduce risk.
Sudozi enabled our team to capture spend intent before vendor contracts are signed, helping us grow efficiently and aligned with strategy.
