Case Study: Ann Arbor Spark achieves faster invoice processing and 10 hours saved per month with Square 9 Softworks GlobalSearch

Ann Arbor Spark saves 10 hours a month with Square 9 Softworks

Ann Arbor Spark, an economic development organization, faced a challenge with a highly manual and paper-based accounting process. Their staff accountant, Lisa Bies, needed a solution to eliminate printing, manual data entry into QuickBooks and Salesforce, and the physical signing of consultant invoices. They turned to vendor Square 9 Softworks for a solution involving their GlobalSearch product.

Square 9 implemented GlobalSearch with its QuickBooks integration, which automated the invoice approval workflow and eliminated paper. The results were significant time savings, reducing invoice processing from 3-4 hours to just 30-60 minutes for a large batch, saving approximately 10 hours per month. The solution also enabled remote approval during the pandemic and greatly reduced printing.
