Challenge

Paper-based, time-intensive processes for AP and invoicing couldn’t scale for the growing organization.

Sunshine Act demands rigorous compliance and spend reporting from biopharma companies.

Solution could not add to IT team’s already-hefty load.

Results

Users can now focus on strategic tasks instead of tedious procurement procedures.

Can now quickly prepare reports for audits and comply with the Sunshine Act, SOX, and other regulations.

Helped reduce invoice approval lifecycle by 73%.
