MOTAT - Ferret AP Approval Case Study

Tweet

MOTAT is New Zealand's largest transport, technology and social history museum and process around 600 accounts payable invoices per month. Ferret’s Accounts Payable Approvals System was implemented instantly and fully replaced our invoice tracking process after only one month. Additional training wasn’t an issue as Ferret’s system has a self-explanatory user interface.

Accounts Payable Approvals Process before Ferret.

MOTAT is New Zealand's largest transport, technology, and social history museum, and process around 600 Accounts Payable Invoices per month. Prior to using Ferret Software for our Accounts Payable Approvals Process we were photocopying all Invoices before sending the original to Approvers for signing and coding. Once approved, we would replace the photocopied invoice with the signed original and discard the photocopy.
The problems with our Paper Accounts Payable Process were:

Paper wastage of approximately 600 photocopied Accounts Payable Invoices per month.
In-order to review or query the details of the invoice, we had to manually retrieve it from our paper filing system.

Implementation

Ferret’s Accounts Payable Approvals System was implemented instantly and fully replaced our invoice tracking process after only one month. Additional training wasn’t an issue as Ferret’s system has a self-explanatory user interface.

Accounts Payabe Approvals Process with Ferret.

With our new system, all invoices are bar-coded, referenced into Ferret’s System and scanned in bulk using our existing scanning machine. We then have all invoices available as PDF images, fully indexed by creditor, and available to our whole team which means we no longer need to make photocopy backups. Same as before, the original invoices are sent to Approvers for signing and coding. Once approved, we re-scan the invoices in bulk and the signed originals automatically replace the previous invoice image inside Ferret Software. Ferret it set up to track our approvals process and each invoice is updated to “Fully processed” which is outstanding because unpaid and unapproved invoices are easily tracked.

Benefits

Eliminated Paper Wastage of approximately 600 invoices per month
All Invoices are stored electronically meaning they can be queried instantly
Easily share Accounts Payable duties with other staff members as they are not restrained by being in different offices or not having access to the AP invoice files.
