Challenge

In a public sector environment, how do you increase operational efficiency and lower costs associated with paper-based invoice processes? CCD needed to provide its external vendors and internal agencies a more efficient and cost-effective way to deliver invoices.

It also needed to streamline the capture of paper invoices delivered by US Mail and internal mail systems, and eliminate a process in which digital invoices were printed, labeled with a barcode and rescanned.

Solution

Buddha Logic, working with CCD’s business owners, business analysts, upper management and IT staff examined, refreshed and architected an invoice processing framework using Kofax Import Connector (KIC), Kofax Transformation Modules (KTM) and web service integrations. The solution allows receipt of electronic invoices utilizing KIC for email classification, separation and processing with KTM. During processing, KTM leverages CCD’s existing web services to interact with their PeopleSoft Human Resource and Financial Management systems to verify data extracted by KTM and entered by the invoice processing staff.

Results

The project resulted in a repeatable and efficient business process. Through this invoice capture framework,  documents received electronically and by postal/internal mail are processed with fewer touchpoints.
