Case Study: Propel Charter Schools achieves faster invoice approval with DocuWare

Propel Charter Schools - Customer Case Study

Propel Charter Schools, a federation of 13 not-for-profit charter schools serving 4,000 students in western Pennsylvania, needed a better way to manage purchasing and invoice approvals across multiple locations. Before using DocuWare, paperwork moved by inter-office mail, approvals were handled centrally, and staff spent significant time tracking down lost invoices and matching purchase orders, packing slips, and invoices.

With DocuWare, Propel automated its invoice approval workflow: schools scan documents into the system, accounting performs online 3-way matching, and invoices are routed for approval with supporting documents available electronically. DocuWare cut approval time from up to two weeks to just a few days, reduced check-processing time from four hours to less than one, and eliminated delays in answering payment questions, while also integrating with CSIU accounting software.
