Case Studies
UniLink serves companies of all sizes in all markets, providing multiple financial and process benefits. The following are some examples of companies in various industries and the types of benefits they receive:
Automating all outbound invoices and credit memos for a large food distributor not only reduced their operating costs, but according to them, provided a competitive advantage, allowing them to attract more customers. It also reduced the amount of time field sales people had to devote to dealing with credit memo issues and focused them more on selling.
A UniLink client spent over one year and $50,000 to try and establish one connection, causing them so much frustration that they scrapped their entire e-document program. Once UniLink was engaged, they realized it was much cheaper, as well as efficient, and is steadily converting new vendors and customers to electronic via UniLink.
A large exporter of paper products had millions of dollars of inventory sitting on docks, waiting for paperwork to catch up. By automating the process, all pertinent documents are delivered electronically, including into their document management system, while allowing inventory to be shipped to customers.
A billion dollar plus retail company had a few of their high volume vendors sending electronic invoices, but also had thousands of paper invoices still coming in from hundreds of other vendors, all because of the lack of internal resources to connect them all. UniLink is now managing a program to connect all vendors, regardless of how sophisticated they are technically, reducing invoice processing costs between $8 and $10 per invoice. The company is so happy with the program that they are now addressing purchase order automation.
A UniLink nursing home client can now get reimbursed quicker, as well as adhering to Medicare document archival requirements, by accepting electronic invoices now versus paper. This also has reduced their archival costs because invoices no longer have to be physically stored indefinitely.
A large manager of apartment buildings in Virginia utilizes UniLink to automate all inbound utility bills, allowing for better payment cycles, improved cash management, and decreased staff utilization.
UniLink helps pharmaceutical companies adhere to FDA reporting requirements by being able to electronically deliver FDA reporting documents.
UniLink has banking clients that promote UniLink e-invoicing as a compliment to their EFT payment services for commercial customers.
