Australia market readinessConfirm AUD billing, English support, local payment and tax workflows, privacy, and data-location requirements.
Operations Manager workflow fitThe product should directly support repeatable workflows, exceptions and approvals, cross-team reporting, handoff visibility, process automation, vendor and resource coordination, SOP and knowledge management without excessive customization.

WATCH OUT

Common mistakes

Assuming global availability means Australia tax, payment, language, support, and data requirements are covered
Automating an approval maze without simplifying it
Ignoring requester experience
Treating procurement data as separate from finance master data

Build a weighted scorecard

Separate non-negotiable requirements from preferences and assign an owner to validate each claim.

Model total cost and rollout

Include migration, implementation, integrations, training, administration, usage, and renewal pricing.
