Client stories
Notes from procurement leads and finance controllers who commissioned application audits with Platform Wise.
“They traced a silent override in our vendor change form that finance had never been told about. The write-up was plain enough for our board and precise enough for IT.”
“The pre-go-live check caught a three-way match setting that would have auto-closed short deliveries. We delayed cutover by five days and avoided a messy first month.”
“I wished they had pushed harder on our plant-level buyers who skipped interviews. Even so, the compliance memo on tender score locking gave internal audit something concrete to own.”
“We expected jargon. Instead we got screenshots of the approval path our CFO thought existed and the shorter path that actually did.”
Extended story: vendor bank-detail path
A Busan ship-parts wholesaler asked for a focused review after a near-miss payment diversion. Over eight working days we sampled ninety vendor amendments in their procurement application, mapped who could edit bank fields, and sat with accounts payable during a live change.
The application allowed a single buyer role to edit and approve the same vendor record when a backup approver was on leave — a temporary setting left from a holiday period two years earlier. Logs still carried the temporary role assignment. The control memo named the role, the date the exception was granted, and the five vendors changed under it.
Remediation took the client’s IT team one afternoon: remove the dual capability, add an alert on bank-field edits, and re-approve open vendor changes. No cash was lost in the near-miss; the review closed the gap before the next payment run.
