“For me, efficient operations are the ability to measure what’s been spent against what was expected and what’s been ordered. To be able to track invoices, to identify how long it takes to pay invoices and why some take longer than others, gives us a great idea of what can we do to address these challenges.”
“By setting up a structured process, we got a grip on our direct spend, suppliers and the indirect costs of the purchasing and ordering process.”
"The beauty of the Bright Horizons and Proactis partnership is that the system gives us the ability to automate invoice processing, while placing orders in different and more efficient ways. This not only adds value but enables us to see all invoices that come through, even those with no associated purchase order."
"PROACTIS offers much more than a typical software product. It is a combination of innovative software solutions and well-structured services delivered by experienced professionals."
"PROACTIS Group has done an excellent job of understanding our business and configuring the product to meet our complex requirements. It is a wonderfully user-friendly system that has changed the way we work. I would recommend PROACTIS to anyone."
"Before PROACTIS, the supplier qualification and accreditation was too subjective providing little visibility of risks. There was no consistent measurement and evaluation of suppliers."
"Before PROACTIS we were processing 20,000 invoices amongst a team of 8 every month. Today, we are processing 60,000 invoices every month with the same number. We have absorbed the additional growth without any additional resource, whilst improving accuracy and reporting. We are delighted with how the solution has complemented the process and technology initiatives we have implemented."
"The 'go shopping' functionality is now so easy to use that we call it the 'Amazon experience'."
"We are seeing greater staff satisfaction because they are more in control than they have previously been, greater productivity because we have minimised the amount of time our employees spend processing paper, and critically, because of the control we now have over our spend and invoicing, we have improved financial compliance."
"Our overall aim was to centralise the Accounts Payable process while incorporating best practices. PROACTIS had proven experience in both of these areas, coming forward with proven customer metrics of what could be achieved. The solution and suggested process improvements have helped us to increase Accounts Payable efficiency by 65% and we have reduced Accounts Payable costs by 41%, all in a little under 12 months."
"Perhaps the biggest win for the University, however, has been the ability to give our academics powerful tools for managing budgets and finances without requiring them to be financially aware, and without distracting them from their day jobs."
"EInvoicing is no longer a ‘project’ - it’s business as usual. Processes have been streamlined. We’re making substantial savings each year and lifted a significant workload from Accounts Payable staff and from across the business as a whole."
"PROACTIS has provided us with exactly the framework we needed to gain control and visibility of indirect spend across our 1,500+ locations we’re very happy with the results."
"Our employees have embraced our PROACTIS-based purchasing system as we had hoped. With just about all purchases going through the system we now have a level of financial control and visibility we never had in the past."
"From the start, I found PROACTIS were very focused on our requirements. They understood the landscape and are very empathetic and supportive. They’ve always been there for us, proving very proactive in fixing issues, delivering enhancements and welcoming feedback."
