Mar 7th, 2011 - Four Seasons Health Care selects Intelligent Capture to enable the transformation of AP processing
Intelligent Capture Limited, the document and data capture specialists have announced that they have been chosen by Four Seasons Health Care, one of the leading independent healthcare providers in the UK, to enable the transformation and automation of their current Accounts Payable (AP) processes.
Four Seasons own and operate over 400 care centres and nursing homes, employing over 21,000 people. Their care homes and nursing homes are unique and offer consistently high standards of service and care.
Currently, each individual care home receives purchase invoices, codes, approves and sends them to the central AP function at Darlington, resulting in the processing of approximately 360,000 purchase invoices per year. With the help of Intelligent Capture, Four Seasons Health Care will be transforming existing processes to enable the central AP function to take on more of the purchase invoice processing with ever increasing levels of efficiency. This will free up more time for care home staff to further focus efforts on quality care provisions as opposed to back office invoice processing, thereby improving control and efficiency.
Jamie Webb, Senior Financial Controller says “Intelligent Capture showed a real interest in what we were trying to achieve through the transformation of our processes. They came forward with real AP performance metrics that showed what could be achieved through the transformation while also making best practice and process suggestions beyond simply supplying us with software, this provided us with real confidence in what we wanted to achieve. We also saw the solution as low-risk in that they have a strategic partnership with UNIT4, our existing finance system provider”.
Ilija Ugrinic, Sales and Marketing Director says “We are delighted to have been selected by Four Seasons Health Care, the organisation and people have a real appetite for change and improvement. The relationship we have forged has enabled us to share our AP pedigree and experience, allowing Four Seasons Health Care to clearly see what process improvements can be achieved, both in the short and long term in partnership with us”.
