dELiA*s first deployed FileNexus® in its Accounts Payable department. It captures, manages and archives all invoices and creates an automated workflow for electronic approvals. Using unique barcodes, FileNexus® routes the invoice data into the company’s Multiview accounting system, pulling in required information like vendor name, invoice total, due date, and PO number. During scheduled accounting system queries, FileNexus® retrieves cheque run data like cheque number, date, amount, etc., and automatically updates dELiA*s invoices. With FileNexus® workflow and reporting functions, companies can easily manage and track the processes for any department and securely distribute data electronically from any source.

“The integration of FileNexus® into our environment has allowed us to make better use of our time and resources. We can allocate more to planning and evaluating, and less to manual, non-value added functions.” Howard Blaufarb, Director, Accounts Payable & Financial Services for dELiA*s
