Case Study: Newland Communities achieves paperless, faster invoice approvals and cost savings with AvidXchange

Valerie Vance is Thankful for Automation

Newland Real Estate Group, a diversified developer with more than 140 projects and 175,000 residential units, faced a heavily paper-based accounts payable process that relied on FedEx between eight offices, caused long approval delays, late fees, high operating costs, and poor interoffice visibility. Valerie Vance, Newland’s Accounts Payable Lead, described weekly manual bottlenecks, time-consuming reconciliations, and limited forecasting ability before automation.

Newland implemented AvidXchange Invoice (integrated with JD Edwards), which provided fast onboarding, responsive support, and seamless integration. Automation eliminated paper and FedEx costs, cut invoice processing from weeks to about three days, reduced a weekly four-hour reconciliation to one hour, improved cash flow and on‑time payments, lowered late fees, and freed staff to focus on higher‑value tasks while improving communication across offices.
