The Situation. The Stellar Group is a full-service design/build facility development company based in Jacksonville, Fla., that provides architecture, engineering, construction and refrigeration services to industrial, commercial and institutional markets. The company designs and constructs facilities for food processing, food storage, auto dealers, education, healthcare, hospitality, industrial and Class-A office space.
With 15 remote offices and more than 100 construction sites each approving vendor invoices for payment, Stellar wanted an accounts payable (A/P) solution that would integrate with Oracle’s JD Edwards EnterpriseOne ERP software to simplify the lengthy and paper-intensive approval process once an invoice was received. After a lengthy search process, Stellar selected Image Integration Systems (IIS), a leader in developing, delivering and supporting comprehensive document management and imaging solutions in high-volume transaction processing environments, to implement an integrated document management solution that would enhance the Stellar A/P process.
The Solution. Some of the featured elements of the IIS solution include DocuSphere® Content Manager, a complete thin-client-enabled document imaging and archiving system for viewing, managing and distributing all forms of electronic documents across internal networks and the web; and DocuSphere Workflow, a standards-based, thin-client-enabled system that automates enterprise-wide business processes across all application systems and platforms using flexible, graphical management tools that easily create, maintain and secure workflow patterns.
The Stellar Group software solution also includes IIS DocuSphere Integration Module for Oracle’s J.D. Edwards EnterpriseOne ERP system; IIS DocuSphere Web; and IIS DocuSphere Electronic Report Management (ERM). DocuSphere products are fully integrated, standards based, web enabled and platform independent, providing everything from workflow to document imaging, content management, full text OCR, intelligent capture, certified ERP integration and ERM.
Results. The IIS DocuSphere solution results at Stellar have been nothing short of amazing. “By allowing us to capture construction costs sooner, IIS and its DocuSphere document management solution have allowed Stellar to increase monthly earned revenue by approximately $1 million per month,” said Scott Witt, Chief Financial Officer at Stellar.
IIS made the transition to an electronic A/P system extremely easy for Stellar. “From the beginning, IIS and its employees have demonstrated the ability to rapidly develop, implement and manage a dynamic software project that revolutionized the way Stellar interacts with its vendors, while being sensitive to our budget. Through this project, IIS has become one of our most valued business partners,” Witt said.
