The West Virginia University Foundation raises in excess of $100 million in cash and in-kind donations annually for a wide range of scholarships and programs at the university. The role of the Foundation’s disbursement department is to ensure that those funds are distributed to the right people, at the right time, according to each donor’s wishes and IRS guidelines.
The disbursement department processes over 1,200 invoices and 800 credit card transactions per month. “We review every single invoice that comes in, every transaction — whether it’s one dollar or one million dollars. It all gets the same level of review,” said Renee Allison, senior director of disbursement services for the WVU Foundation.
Prior to 2005, those transactions were all paper-based, which created inefficiencies that overwhelmed the three-person team tasked with reviewing each invoice. This often resulted in delays with processing payments.
Hardcopies of invoices and supporting documents also took up a large amount of space. “At the time, we had no document imaging system whatsoever. Just one fiscal year alone would fill 20 file cabinets,” Allison recalled.
But in 2005, that began to change when the WVU Foundation transitioned to PairSoft, a document management solution that integrates seamlessly with the Foundation’s accounting software, The Financial Edge by Blackbaud.
“By using PairSoft with Financial Edge, we’ve been able to shorten the cycle for reviewing and paying invoices from an average of 26 days to under 5 business days,” said Allison. “And since our invoices are scanned into PairSoft, we’ve been able to cut down on file cabinets, freeing up space to add three offices, a conference room, and a hallway where our file room used to be.”
So, how has PairSoft impacted the Foundation? Allison identified these success indicators:
The strongest AP automation, document management, procurement, and fundraising automation platform for mid-market and enterprise companies with integrations to your ERP system.
