Case Study: Alexandria Transit Company achieves rapid, paperless purchasing approvals and improved compliance with Tallyfy

Alexandria Transit Company runs their critical purchasing approvals on Tallyfy

Alexandria Transit Company, which operates the DASH bus system in Alexandria, Virginia, faced a paper-based purchasing approval process that relied on ink signatures, scanning and emailing, and lacked clear documentation and consistent compliance. To digitize approvals and guide staff through their public procurement requirements, they began running their critical purchasing approvals on Tallyfy.

Using Tallyfy, Alexandria Transit Company created multiple custom blueprints — including Purchase Requisition, Receiving Report & Invoice Payment, PO Change Order, Travel Expense Report and more — with conditional workflows, attachments and assigned tasks. The change cut approval times from a couple of days to often minutes, reduced email traffic and confusion, boosted purchasing compliance and director visibility into spending, and allowed the agency to digitize complex procurement workflows without investing in a large ERP.
