Neil Morton, the head of financial services at the Nottinghamshire local authority, said the integrated system will help the council make savings and develop and greater understanding about its spending.
Morton added: "Automating our purchase-to-pay processes will eliminate time-consuming paper-based processes and deliver efficiency savings for the authority. The automated data capture technology will also reduce manual data entry by approximately 70%, further enhancing purchase-to-pay efficiency."
