Automate capital expenditure approval processes with workflow software
Capital expenditure approval requests represent the most important decisions taken by a company often involving substantial outlays, detailed business cases and lengthy approval cycles with multiple stakeholders. It’s a complex process so why rely on paper-based processes?
Powered by Process Director, eCapEx is aimed at organisations seeking to replace slow, error-prone and untraceable paper processes with workflow software that offers greater visibility, automation and tracking of CapEx spend.
Existing user directories, accounts systems, ERP and portal systems make the task of automating even a seemingly simple process out of reach to many departments. And that is before the workflow, rules and authorisation limits have been mapped out, which can all combine to make the upgrade from paper to electronic seem unmanageable, expensive and never ending.
Solution
Drawing on our experience, we will automate your capital expenditure approval process using the Process Director BPM platform. The solution will replicate - and improve - your paper-based process to provide greater visibility, automation and tracking of your CapEx spending.
Significant cost savings will be derived from tighter spend control, harmonisation of processes across departments and geographies, eradication of procurement overlap, improved utilisation of existing equipment/capital, and the ability to leverage bulk-buying power.
