Challenges

In an effort to create a more efficient workplace, Operation PAR, a leading provider of addiction and mental health services in Florida, teamed up with DocuPhase to eliminate inefficiencies that were causing delays, errors, and a lack of visibility into their accounting processes.

Their primary objective was to gather business and functional requirements to streamline the storage, indexing, and processing of purchase requisitions across the entire organization.

Some of the direct challenges they sought to address included:

  • A time-consuming requisition process that relied on communication via inter-office mail
  • A disorganized paper-based approval and filing system
  • An increased risk of late and incorrect payments due to disjointed AP processes.
