We quickly realized that we needed a more efficient invoice processing system.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That was Yardi PAYscan Full Service, with which Walton Communities\u2019 vendors send their invoices to a secure, centralized email or physical lockbox monitored by Yardi. The Yardi team scans and enters the account data, and the invoices show in the client\u2019s Yardi Voyager platform as invoice registers, ready for review, approval and processing as payables. All the client&#8217;s site teams have to do is review, add details and approve\u2014without driving anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>With invoice processing off their hands, Walton Communities\u2019 staff members can focus on their core business of leasing, resident service and property maintenance. Yardi PAYscan Full Service adds even more convenience by automatically attaching purchase orders, a major time-saver for maintenance and procurement teams.<\/p>\n<p>Yardi PAYscan Full Service extends the benefits Walton Communities gains from the Yardi Procure to Pay Suite, an end-to-end procurement, vendor management, invoice processing and payments solution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeasing and customer service are the core of our business. Yardi PAYscan Full Service lets our staff concentrate on these activities, rather than dealing with invoicing and billing,\u201d Price said. \u201cThe process of ordering, approving and paying for an item, which previously took up to three weeks, now takes one day. I recommend Yardi PAYscan Full Service to any property manager who wants to work more efficiently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yardi.com\/products\/yardi-payscan\/\">Learn more<\/a> about Yardi PAYscan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At one point, Georgia-based apartment community developer and manager Walton Communities\u2019 mission to provide exceptional residential, affordable and active adult housing at a great value in a friendly neighborhood environment was awash in paperwork.
