Case Study: NETE scales purchasing and streamlines subcontractor invoicing with Unanet Purchasing

NETE Scales With Unanet Purchasing

NETE, a management consulting and technology services firm supporting commercial and federal clients, needed a more efficient, scalable way to process and pay over 150 subcontractor invoices each month. Their workflow relied on cumbersome manual spreadsheets, required extensive double-checking, lacked real-time reporting, and needed stronger data quality controls and compliance with subcontract agreements and funding limits.

By implementing Unanet Purchasing internally, NETE gained a single integrated solution for projects, people, and financials with real-time reporting. The change shortened the invoicing cycle by two days, reduced manual work, tightened internal controls (requiring signed agreements before purchases), gave 95% of subcontractors direct timesheet access, improved reporting and audit traceability, and freed staff to focus on analysis rather than data maintenance.
