Avante Group, Inc.

Accounts payable

The Avante Group, Inc., a Florida-based organization, operates 20 healthcare facilities across four states — offering short- and long-term convalescent and rehabilitative care services tailored to residents' individual needs. With document traffic increasing to more than 500,000 pages per year, paperwork became an increasing burden for Avante's accounting department. ImageNow supports Avante's specific business procedures by collocating electronic document images that are scanned remotely at the organization's multiple facilities.

By eliminating the constraints of paper processes, ImageNow helps associates to stay task-focused, and provides continuity through audits and all other processes. ImageNow's patented integration approach ensured a smooth upgrade of Microsoft Great Plains and helped solidify ImageNow as a scalable investment in the future of Avante Group.

The Challenge

• Require seamless integration with existing and future versions of the Microsoft Great Plains application
• Management of paper files diverts employees away from workflow responsibilities and delays the response to vendor inquiries
• Misplaced invoices impede auditing process and negatively impact reimbursement revenues

The Results

• ImageNow's patented technology enables rapid integration with all applications, while providing unique document imaging functionality within the familiar AP software application
• ImageNow provides instant, single-click access to all documents, facilitating more efficient accounting processes, reallocation of resources and immediate response to vendor calls
• ImageNow reporting features enable full compliance with auditing requirements, and documents are easily retrieved from the secure ImageNow repository
