Case Study: CMX Cinemas achieves centralized spend control and AP automation with PLANERGY

How CMX Cinemas improved purchasing control & supply management in their movie theaters & cinemas group

CMX Cinemas, a multistate movie theater chain with 19 locations and a 350-person staff, struggled with uncontrolled and unbudgeted spending, decentralized ordering, slow and inaccurate deliveries, and no procure-to-pay system. To gain purchasing control and streamline Accounts Payable, they selected PLANERGY’s Purchasing Control & Accounts Payable Automation software.

PLANERGY implemented centralized cloud-based spend management, set up tiered approval workflows and user permissions, and trained staff remotely; within a short time 66 users across all theaters were regularly using the system. As a result, CMX gained real-time visibility into spending, improved inventory and vendor pricing through preferred-vendor functionality, eliminated main-office bottlenecks and overspending, and automated Accounts Payable with three-way matching to prevent inaccurate payments.
