Case Study: University of York achieves improved contract compliance and electronic invoicing with Advanced

The University of York reimagine their future with Advanced

The University of York needed a reliable way to support its new “no PO, no pay” policy, centrally manage negotiated deals across a multi-faculty user base, and maintain full budget control while simplifying procurement. To meet these needs, the university worked with **Advanced** to implement a user-friendly ordering system integrated with its back-office processes.

**Advanced** delivered a digital purchasing solution that automated the purchase-to-pay cycle, improved search, comparison and ordering, and supported catalogue-based buying with end-to-end electronic transactions. The result was stronger contract compliance and a major boost in e-invoicing, with fully electronic invoice processing rising from 0% to 20% of all invoices.
