Case Study: Culinaire International achieves same-day accounting visibility and major cost savings with DocuWare Cloud

Hospitality company serves up 5-star employee experience, offering easier accounting workflow processes to remote employees, facilitated by cloud office automation software

Culinaire International, a Texas‑based hospitality management company operating in 17 states with about 1,800–2,000 employees, faced an inefficient paper‑heavy accounting workflow: 30 remote sites shipped weekly FedEx packages of AR/AP documents to a central office. The company wanted a searchable, OCR‑capable solution with digital workflow and automated indexing to eliminate paper filing and speed processing.

Culinaire deployed DocuWare Cloud and pre‑programmed Scanmate i1150 scanners at remote sites; staff scan daily cover reports and backup documents, a desktop app uploads and auto‑indexes them into the AR cabinet, and corporate posts the information the same day. The change eliminated FedEx shipments and substantial fees, cut document processing costs, delivered same‑day visibility, reduced manual data entry, sped approvals and close processes, and has expanded into HR for secure personnel file retention and onboarding.
