Current scenario
NFPC has state-of-the-art facilities in UAE where they have stored and managed valuable/confidential documents, including Delivery Notes, Purchase Orders, Invoices, Payment Vouchers, Journal Vouchers, Credit Notes, Debit Notes, client records, employee time sheet, employee files, images, contracts, agreements, and other information which are referred to on a regular basis.
Challenges
- All Documents, from all divisions of NFPC regarding any purchase, arrive at the central finance division for review, approval, and payment release. These documents are then stored at the central division. Later when from any other department, these documents are to be viewed or reviewed, it is time consuming for employees to search and retrieve these documents manually.
- Auditing (both internal and external) happens for different divisions of NFPC at different times of the year. They also need to review documents for audit purposes. Search and retrieval of these documents is laborious and time consuming.
- Redundancy, delays, and confusion caused by too much reliance on the human factor in the business process and collaborative functions such as validation and approval of documents.
