CTS Cement Corporation Solidifies Automated Invoice Processing

CTS Cement Corporation, headquartered in Orange County, California, designs and manufactures innovative professional-grade construction cement products at more than 15 facilities throughout the United States. In business since 1986, the company's range of products is fueling growth at a 20 percent annual clip. The company's products reside on the store shelves of national home improvement chains like Home Depot and Lowe's.

And odds are that you've driven on their products, too—CTS serves Caltrans, California's department of transportation, and other DOTs throughout the United States. State governments use CTS products in road paving and repair work.

As the company grew, it needed to address the inefficiencies of its accounts payable (A/P) invoice processing. CTS manually keyed invoice data from paper invoices—twice. Data was first keyed into its legacy MAS 90 financial system. After scanning the documents, indexing information was keyed into the company's Hyland OnBase image storage system.

The lack of connectivity between the two systems created inefficiencies from data entry through the approval process and beyond. But by implementing AnyDocINVOICE, CTS Cement has eliminated manual data entry, enabled desktop access to invoice information and greatly improved efficiency throughout the organization. Today, the company automatically processes and indexes nearly 2,500 invoices per month.
