Verian Cloud Transforms Peterson CAT's Company Spending Culture

Verian’s SaaS P2P solution enables CAT dealer to ensure approval of spending before funds are committed

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) - Verian announced today that Peterson CAT dealer is now live on the Verian Cloud for access to Purchase-to-Pay (P2P) technology that will enable the company to funnel more spending through automatic approval workflows. Upgrading to the cloud from a private-hosted system will provide them with the latest advancements in P2P to support shifting the company culture from a process of approving invoices to strategic spending with

• Leading P2P Innovation through automatic quarterly software releases without a time-consuming on-site upgrade
• Role-based approval workflows that are intuitive to increase system use
• Elimination of manual processes to save time and money
• Improvement of master data integrity
• Enhanced reporting tools to benchmark success

Automated approval workflows will help Peterson CAT move requests through the process electronically in the Verian system as approvers sign off on the request – even on mobile devices. Approvers will have the real-time data to determine how requested items or services impact their budgets, and can approve or deny by line item. This will enable a more controlled spending environment that encourages everyone in the company to be better stewards of company funding.

Verian also integrates with the company’s CODA financial management system. The integration allows a seamless exchange of information between the two systems for a comprehensive picture of the company’s spending profile.

“We are very excited about our upgrade to the Verian cloud,” said Karla Beard, Corporate Procurement Manager for Peterson CAT. “Now we have access to the latest technology and a platform that supports a more strategic approach to spending.”

Peterson CAT is an earthmoving and construction company, and is the official CAT equipment dealer for the San Francisco Bay Area, the northern Calif. coast, western Ore. and southern Wash.
