CIO
The CIO may find themselves in the precarious position of having to manage the telecom, IT and utility expenses without having the detailed information that they need. Managing multiple contracts, many vendors and numerous invoices, effectively can be a daunting task. Constantly having to request information from the Accounts Payable staff can be a drain on time for both departments.
Some questions that the CIO team may have when looking at a solution:
How will the solution avoid service interruptions?
Will the solution identify past due invoices before Disconnects occur?
How can we view our invoice images?
Will the invoices be audited, how does this occur?
How much time is going to be needed to interact with the solution provider’s team?
What detailed information will be available in report formats?
How will the solution avoid service interruptions?
RadiusPoint works the Missing Bill report on a daily basis. ExpenseLogic has the Missing Bill report as a standard report that will allow our team to search for invoices that have not been received within a specific time period. The Missing Bill report feature also allows for tracking of the conversations with the vendors to retrieve the invoices and reminders if the invoice is not received and entered within a specific timeframe.

How can we view our invoice images?
There are multiple places within ExpenseLogic that you will be able to view your invoice information and the actual invoice image. In addition, an Image file can be provided weekly, if required.
Will the invoices be audited, how does this occur?
ExpenseLogic, RadiusPoint’s proprietary software will audit each invoice based on the Account number, the Service ID (phone, circuit or meter number) and then each charge for each Service ID. The auditing by line item detail is one of the most efficient methods that audits each charge, each month in an automated manner. RadiusPoint would then research each overage with the vendor and reconcile and resolve the over charge. In addition, the credits pending will be tracked through ExpenseLogic until the credit is received.
How much time is going to be needed to interact with the solution provider’s team?
The goal is to drastically reduce the amount of time that your team has to interact with your vendors. Questions that occur on the invoices such as new services added would be questioned by RadiusPoint however many of these type of questions can be resolved by copying RadiusPoint on the orders to the vendors.
What detailed information will be available in report formats?
There are many Adhoc reports available in ExpenseLogic detailing all invoice information and costs by Service ID (phone, circuit or meter number). In addition, there is an SQL Query feature that allows for reporting of every field of information that is tracked and managed in ExpenseLogic.
What report formats are available?
There are many report view with grids and charts with all information capable of being exported to Excel, CSV and PDF. In addition, many reports can be scheduled to email out on a monthly basis.
Can the solution manage our various vendor contracts?
ExpenseLogic has a Contract Management component that manages all contract information, the contract image, the expiration dates and the contract rates. The most exciting component is the contract rates that can be tied to each phone or circuit number or meter number by line item for the most thorough audit in the industry.
