As a group of companies engaged in engineering and construction, Hallquar Engineering Services - HES – felt the need to streamline the approval process required before posting invoices into Sage 50. The company would also need to ensure that people on site could have easy access to invoices pending approval as well as filled invoices.
The Challenge - Gaining Control Over Invoice Approval Processes
The challenge for the company was to ensure that invoices were not paid before being approved by the relevant people. Something that with people spread across multiple sites, was not easy.Furthermore, the company also wanted to reduce paper consumption to minimise the environmental footprint.
The Solution – PaperLess Invoice Approval for Sage
After having tried other solutions, HES decided that PaperLess Invoice Approval for Sage 50 was the best solution to streamline and gain control over the entire invoice approval process.So, in an implementation process that the company describes as simple and easy, HES started using PaperLess for Sage 50. From that moment onwards, everyone in the company was able to easily authorise invoices as well as to retrieve previously approved invoices.
