Company Profile
Privately-held mountain-resort operator, a portfolio of year-round destination resorts across the western US and Canada, plus a heli-ski operation. Operates hospitality, real-estate development, food and beverage, and retail businesses unified by a shared mountain culture and a multi-resort season-pass program.
Challenge
The client processes about 1,000 journal entries (JE) each week. Accounting team would register each JE in SharePoint and assign a reviewer. The reviewer entered the JE into MS Dynamics and updated a separate template. Next, the template, and a link to the JE, were emailed to the approver for handling. The process was error-prone and took time away from higher-value tasks. Leadership wanted a solution to accurately create entries and allow staff to focus on completing entries in a timely manner.
Solution
The automation retrieves the list of prepared journal entries from Sharepoint that are ready for review. Next, it applies business rules to validate the data and alerts the reviewer if it uncovers any issues. It then creates a new entry in MS Dynamics using the Excel template and publishes the template. After updating the record in SharePoint it notifies the approver to complete the process. All steps are carried out by the automation, and the reviewer need only focus on exception cases needing follow-up.
