The Client
Clay Lacy Aviation (CLA), is about the feeling of flying through clear skies. CLA was founded in 1968 by an industry pioneer, aviator, and is today the most experienced private jet operator in the world. CLA was the first charter company to offer executive jet charters west of the Mississippi. It wanted to give clients that same freedom across the country. CLA has served a wide range of clients over the 50 years. They have provided services to celebrities, government agencies, Fortune 500 companies and business leaders. It sells, service, and maintains all major manufacturers’ jet aircrafts.
CLA is dedicated to providing the highest quality of Sanger Boats safety, value and service to clients. However, they faced an obstacle to efficiency in invoice volume. They implemented ABBYY Flexible Capture and saw efficiency improvements of 35% thanks to Naviant.
Invoice Overload Clay Lacy Aviation
You might expect that dealing with many clients, vendors, or suppliers meant there was an overwhelming amount of paperwork coming in the mail. To make matters worse, the forms were available in almost every shape and size.
CLA mailboxes receive more than 35,000 invoices annually from all over the world. The staff had to spend a lot of time processing all this paper. The high volume of invoices was handled by a team of 20 people. Some invoices took up to half an hour to enter the system. It’s not surprising that errors were common due to all the work involved in this setup.
Something had to be done. It was not possible to add staff because of the increasing costs and the processing errors. They needed a solution that would meet all their needs. However, they wanted to be able leverage their existing technology including an enterprise resource planning system. Clay Lacy Aviation felt it was time for a definitive search.
