Invoice approval is a simple click of the mouse

Cullum Detuners Ltd chose Invu for Business to accelerate their invoice approval process using Invu workflow across the world.

CDL designs, develops, manufactures and installs jet engine test cell facilities and gas turbine acoustic enclosures for aircraft carriers, oil rigs and submarines throughout the world.

The majority of manufacture takes place at their plant in Derbyshire with some elements sub-contracted to companies in China, America and the Czech Republic. Clients include Rolls Royce, Amec and Alstom Power Inc.

Most of the work is project based, involving the management of many complex, technical installations. Input is required from all parts of the company, generating huge amounts of documentation. Tender documents, project plans and design specications undergo change control and are often revised during the course of a project.

They also integrate to their ERP system, Syteline, raising purchase orders in Syteline to be automatically indexed into Invu. This means that the procurement department raise purchase
orders in Syteline which are then automatically indexed into Invu.

Tony Dow, IT Manager at Cullum Detuners Ltd explains "It has been a big success. Invoice approval is now just a simple click of the mouse, much quicker and easier than signing!"

But what issues will it solve or new opportunities be opened up by adoption of this technology?

This whitepaper explores these whilst also taking a look at how to avoid any pitfalls which might negatively impact your chargeability if you decide that document management is right for your practice.
