California Franchisor's Journey: Optimizing Accounts Payable

Pre-State: The client faced inefficiencies due to manual processes such as hand-scanning bills,

manual expense tracking, and invoice approvals. This resulted in disorganized bookkeeping and

necessitated constant chase-ups, rework, and adjustments to manage accounts payable.

Post-State: We streamlined accounts payable by mapping existing workflows and identifying

key bottlenecks. We then implemented a cloud-based system aimed at straight through

processing, achieving a 2.5X reduction in manual effort within four weeks.

Bridge: Collaborating with the client’s team, we transitioned them to an optimized, cloud-based

system that alleviated previous inefficiencies. This led to a cost-benefit ratio of 4:1, significantly

enhancing the overall operational efficiency.
