MNP: Case Study

MNP ran a centralised Accounts Payable function, with one person responsible for checking 7,000 monthly invoices. They needed a speedy and reliable solution that enabled timely payments and a secure process. Now implemented, FISCAL’s solutions are central to their payments process, preventing $174,000 in losses within a year!

Introduction

MNP Corporation (MNP) is one of the largest manufacturers of fasteners, with over 1200 and 16 operation and support divisions across the Midwest US. They run a centralised AP function, which involves 15 staff members inputting 6-7k of invoices per month.

Purchasing FISCAL’s Forensic solution in 2013, it soon became the center of all MNP’s AP processing. No payments are made until the high-risks uncovered by FISCAL’s solution have been reviewed, which only takes 15 minutes each morning. A return of investment was soon made in the first year. The payback continues and in one financial year FISCAL’s forensic solution prevented MNP making $174,000 of erroneous payments.

“The support we receive from the FISCAL Technologies Services and Customer Success Teams throughout our ownership of this solution has been fantastic.”
Details

Always keen to be an early adopter of any system, MNP requested a demonstration of next generation, cloud-based software solution, NXG Forensics. “As soon as we were shown NXG we knew that this Accounts Payable software would be the icing on the cake for our vendor invoice to payment processes”. Accounting Manager, MNP They really liked the intuitive layout and the visual functionality.

As with many corporations across the world, a serious challenge presented itself to the finance team in 2020. COVID-19 hit them, resulting in the entire AP system and processes being closed down. Payments were delayed and vendors had to be pacified. This led to the senior management team requesting the Accounting Manager to source a cloud-based finance system. With COVID-19 also affecting the working environment, the system chosen had to be accessed from anywhere and at any time, as well as being secure and stable. The new ERP, Netsuite, was chosen. Co-ordinating this digital transformation to incorporate all the auxiliary systems, including NXG Forensics, was very challenging, especially as the team had been given a short timeframe to complete. However, strongly supported by the FISCAL Services Team from day one of the transition ensured a smooth switch requiring minimal downtime.
