Finance operations workflow suite
Automated three recurring finance tasks: alerts when relevant files change, a searchable email record and collection of supplier price lists for reconciliation.
-
The problem
Document changes went unnoticed, email evidence remained in individual inboxes and supplier price lists required manual collection.
-
My role
Routed SharePoint file-change alerts to the users who must act.
-
Where it stands
The standing flows surface file changes, create queryable evidence logs and collect supplier price lists without manual handling.
