‘Integration is Key’

DocSend saves the college a significant amount of money in not so obvious ways—like eliminating late charges with vendors.

“DocSend accomplishes in minutes what would typically take at least two days,” says Greenwood. He is referring to the extended invoice approval and payment process, which formerly involved the college’s internal mail system, the purchasing department and the business office. DocSend enables the faculty to immediately send invoices to the approver, who sends the invoice in for payment. The purchasing department is then able to expedite payments and eliminate late fees, which had become considerable and a source of consternation as an unnecessary and frustrating expense.
