The goal for the company

  • More control over expenses without additional effort

  • Access invoices from anywhere at any time

  • Establish a cloud-based invoice management system

The goal for Alexander

  • Modern processes that are 100% digitalised

  • No more approval folder

  • Create customised workflows

The challenge

The terrific growth has also left its mark - for example, until the use of CANDIS, all invoices in the Bonn headquarters still had to be presented to the responsible team member for approval on the footpath. With multi-stage processes, the effort quickly multiplied. The digitalisation of this process and the problem-free, documented mapping of the multi-stage approval procedure were decisive in changing this process with CANDIS.

The result

Immediately after the roll-out, no more paper invoices were submitted to team members for approval. All the multi-step and amount-based processes already established were quickly configured in CANDIS and work began on the finer details. The result: fewer growing pains, no approval folders and customised workflows for staff who could intuitively use the tool immediately without extensive training.

Recommendation to all SMEs

Especially in the growth phase, one focuses on the areas that have the greatest impact on growth - financial processes are overlooked and thus lag behind. With CANDIS, you regain a structured overview without a lot of implementation effort.
