Novocell Issues
- Efficiency: Novocell needed to make its requisition process as efficient as possible. Time wasted pushing paper was a big problem.
- Company Size: As a small research and development company, Novocell needed a cost-effective expense management system.
- Manual Processes: Prior to ExpenseWatch.com, Novocell used a proprietary FileMaker database for its requisitions. Employees tracked down signature approvals manually.
Operating Expense Goals
- Paperless Systems: Novocell needed to create an efficient process to track procurement procedures. Eliminating the paper trail and handling net purchasing more efficiently was paramount. The company wanted to simplify the entire process to flow as smoothly as possible.
- Improved Requisition Process: Novocell wanted a system that would allow it to submit an electronic requisition and check the status online. Submitting and reviewing requisitions needed to consume less time and money.
ExpenseWatch.com Solution
- Automation: Instead of filling out piles of paper forms, users submit electronic requisitions and check the status online. This provides far more information and reduces the time needed for reviews.
- Dynamic Solution with Automatic Upgrades: The ExpenseWatch.com online infrastructure allows for new features and enhancements to be added without burdening Novocell with expensive upgrades.
