Proof Positive
Periscope helped a major municipal government gain procurement-process controls and transparency by automating the three-way match via our eProcurement solution. Historically, the city had used manual, paper-based verifications of items received to authorize payments – which led to delays due to physical routing of paperwork and created significant holes in internal controls. An automated match of the city’s purchase orders, receipt records and vendor invoices increased management’s ability to handle problem vendors and control payments more fully.
