Case Study: Froedtert & MCW streamlines invoice processing and improves data integrity with GHX
A GHX Case Study
Prepare for the Ripple Effect in the Cloud
Froedtert & MCW, a large regional health network, faced challenges with data integrity and inefficient manual processes after migrating to a tightly integrated, multi-tenant cloud ERP system, Infor CloudSuite Healthcare. The increased system integration meant that minor errors in areas like supply chain or finance created a significant ripple effect, causing widespread discrepancies. This was especially problematic with purchase orders and invoices, where hundreds of minor pricing mismatches required daily manual intervention from buyers, hampering efficiency.
The vendor GHX provided a solution by integrating its electronic trading exchange for procure-to-pay EDI transactions. This allowed Froedtert & MCW to implement automated tolerance thresholds for invoice discrepancies. As a result of the GHX solution, the health network dramatically reduced errors, streamlining processing by only flagging significant discrepancies for manual review. This automation provided cleaner data for financial analysis, improved cash management with real-time visibility, and enabled daily reconciliations instead of monthly ones.
