Atlantech Online is a leading telecom provider based in the DMV area in the United States that focuses on providing telephone, internet, and data center services to business and government organizations. In order to effectively support customers and their evolving networks, Atlantech’s 60-person team has had to evolve and make operational choices to scale and grow effectively.
The challenges
One of Atlantech’s most recent challenges was realizing just how detrimental manual entry was to their procurement processes and general operations.
-
Manual processes: Atlantech’s processes included manually typing in orders on a spreadsheet, which could only be accessed by a single user at a time.
-
Time wasted: Data entry was bogging down processes and resulting in hours of additional work, with information needing to be manually transcribed from one spreadsheet or system to the next.
-
Human error: Largely manual processes lent themselves to human error; typos and redundancies made reporting unreliable.
The solution
When Atlantech started to evaluate solutions to help automate their procurement processes, they found that most software was either too expensive or needed to be deployed on-premise. Eventually, their research led them to Procurify, which offered a cloud-based approach to centralizing their spend data at scale.
-
Quick implementation and intuitive onboarding: Atlantech was able to roll out Procurify effectively in a couple weeks with the help of our dedicated support team.
-
Key integrations with Atlantech’s fintech ecosystem: Procurify integrates with your favorite accounting systems and ERPs, and has PunchOuts with a variety of online stores. As President Ed Fineran put it: “You don’t need to be typing things into multiple systems for the same purchase order. It makes everything exceptionally faster from getting a product ordered, delivered, and paid for.”
-
Improved spend visibility and control: Custom permissions and approval routing gave Ed confidence that purchasers and approvers were in full alignment. Procurify’s mobile app enables Ed to oversee requests and make critical decisions on the go.
