ProCentra Workflow

Optio's new Workflow automation solution manages the movement of tasks from one step to the next in a document-driven transactional process. ProCentra Workflow ensures that documents are processed accurately based on specific, pre-determined business requirements as they enter a company's ERP system.

Whether for AP coding and approval, expense management or any other document-intensive process, ProCentra Workflow tracks these tasks at the point of process engagement, which provides critical visibility into the details of a given document process at every step. Managers are notified when work is scheduled for completion, which enables appropriate escalation methods for meeting deadlines. Delegation rules can also be set so that work continues while team members are away.
