Alterman, Inc.
With Kojo, Alterman eliminated procurement miscommunications, enabling seamless collaboration, faster payments, and on-time deliveries.
The Story
Time is money for every trade contractor, and Alterman, Inc., knows this firsthand. When focusing on efficiency, the San Antonio-based electrical contractor found a reoccurring bottleneck in its procurement process: AP and Purchasing worked in separate systems that didn’t sync.
The result? A frustrating and costly back-and-forth that went a little something like this:
1.) AP flags an invoice issue.
2.) They manually pull it from their automation tool or email.
3.) Send it to Purchasing to review and fix.
4.) AP reprocesses the invoice.
This disconnect led to inconsistencies and delays with invoice issues.
Alterman, Inc. has always embraced innovation. It’s how they’ve become so successful. So when it came time to find a solution for this all-to-common issue, they carefully considered their options.
The Solution
Alterman, Inc. knew technology could fix this—but they wanted software that fit their internal best practices, not the other way around. Enter Kojo.
