Alliance Residential Management Selects OpsTechnology to Manage Procurement, Purchasing and Payables
San Francisco, California -- April 16, 2007 --
OpsTechnology (www.opstechnology.com), the leading provider of on-demand systems that enable real-estate operating companies to automate their purchasing, payables and procurement functions, today announced that Alliance Residential Management (www.allianceresidential.com) is now deploying its OpsBuyer Enterprise and OpsInvoice Processing Solutions. Houston-based Alliance is one of the largest operators of multifamily communities in the United States with more than 45,000 apartment homes in over 150 communities throughout the United States.
Chris Finetto, Vice President of Business Services at Alliance, says that, "We needed to increase visibility into our buying behavior so that we could better manage maverick spending and implement better controls over our purchasing and invoice processing. We decided to work with OpsTechnology because it was really the only solution developed that incorporated a pre-built network of our suppliers as well as a centralized invoice processing solution. Their long-standing relationship with several of our peers in the multifamily industry was also extremely important to us."
Alliance Residential Management is in the process of deploying the OpsBuyer and OpsInvoice solutions throughout the multifamily portfolio. Once deployed, the new paperless system will provide end-to-end visibility and controls on all aspects of the purchasing and invoice management process. The final solution will include purchase order and invoice management, electronic procurement, budget reporting, automated approval workflow, online access to the company's preferred suppliers, content rich catalog content, invoice document management, vendor management and integration with the company's JDEdwards AP/GL system, which will ultimately create a paperless environment for the purchasing and payables processes within Alliance.
Sukhi Singh, Founder and Chief Operating Officer of OpsTechnology, said, "The fact that yet another one of the largest property management companies has chosen OpsTechnology to streamline their current payables and purchasing process is a testament to the value our solution delivers to the multifamily industry. The same way that property management solutions have helped customers manage revenue, OpsTechnology provides solutions to manage the entire purchasing and payables process."
As the leading provider of spend-management solutions to the real estate industry, OpsTechnology's solutions are tailored to the needs of large REITs, private management companies and small local operators. In addition, OpsTechnology also provides outsourced payables processing services to its clients.
Currently, thousands of users processing billions of dollars of expenses are using solutions to collaborate with both internal employees and third party partners including GE Appliances, Home Depot Supply, Interline Brands, Office Depot and many others.
