Case Study: City of Cleburne achieves faster payments and AP cost savings with Yooz

How a Government Municipality Improved AP Workflow Efficiencies and Trimmed Costs Leveraging Innovative Cloud-based Technology

The City of Cleburne, a Texas municipality processing roughly 1,000 AP documents per month, faced a largely manual accounts payable process with double data entry, heavy reliance on paper checks, slow supplier payments, and lengthy check reconciliation. In 2015 the City chose Yooz and its Yooz AP Automation platform to digitize invoice approvals, reduce errors, enable ACH and card payments, and capture payment discounts.

Yooz delivered a cloud-based AP automation solution across departments, providing digital invoice visibility, automated workflows, ACH/credit card capability, and paperless processing. As a result, the City of Cleburne achieved ROI in year two, drastically reduced time spent reconciling checks, sped contractor payments (improving supplier relationships and contractor retention), and improved overall approval visibility and cost efficiency.
