Naviant Awarded AP Automation Contract by Sims Crane

Naviant announced today that they have been chosen by Sims Crane & Equipment Co. to automate the time-consuming and labor-intensive Accounts Payable (AP) process for the company.  Naviant will implement the low-code rapid application development platform, OnBase by Hyland Software, across its corporate offices in Tampa and 15 locations across the state.

OnBase’s industry-leading AP solution will be managed in the Microsoft Azure public cloud computing platform allowing staff real-time visibility to invoice processing workflows and instant accessibility to invoices, purchase orders, receiving documents, and checks.  Naviant will simplify and automate the capture process across branch locations by utilizing the online CloudOCR platform for data extraction which will capture all faxed, mailed, emailed, and EDI invoice details.  Extending the vision of how these platforms will impact key operations is already planned for other core processes, including human resources and contract management.
