Managing contracts manually led to missed deadlines, compliance risks, and inefficiencies. With SharePoint Contract Management, automation streamlined workflows, reduced manual effort, and ensured compliance. Now, we focus more on clients instead of paperwork.

Challenges

Disconnected Department Workflows
Each department handled expenses differently—with inconsistent Excel sheets, paper receipts, and informal communication—leading to confusion and misalignment in reporting.
Delayed Approvals and Reimbursements
Expense reports were manually submitted via email and required multiple follow-ups for approvals, causing bottlenecks and late reimbursements.
Frequent Errors in Manual Entry
Manual data entry led to duplicated entries, misplaced receipts, and reporting errors—particularly problematic during grant audits and donor reviews.
No Real-Time Expense Oversight
The finance team couldn’t track real-time spending, often discovering budget overshoots only after month-end reconciliation.
