Mediclinic Middle East operates seven hospitals in the UAE with over 900 inpatient beds, as well as more than 20 clinics in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Al Dhafra.

With its business expanding rapidly, Mediclinic Middle East realized that the pressure on its back office was rising. Keeping track of tens of thousands of invoices every year was a considerable challenge. The Accounts Payable process at Mediclinic was becoming increasingly fragmented, manually intensive, error-prone and cumbersome.

Partnering with Avaali to implement a solution efficiently and well within time:
Mediclinic chose to partner with Avaali for the implementation of Kofax ReadSoft PD AP solution. The implementation team from Avaali conducted detailed workshops with key stakeholders from Mediclinic to understand the current system and business processes, their pain points, their requirements, and the roadmap. The workshops also covered all aspects of the proposed solution in detail, to help Mediclinic appreciate how they could leverage the Kofax ReadSoft PD AP solution to resolve their needs around invoice processing and archiving incoming vendor invoices. The Avaali team created a detailed blueprint document covering Kofax ReadSoft PD AP solution business scenarios and gained the acceptance and confidence of Mediclinic business and IT team. Avaali also took ownership of educating the Mediclinic end users as well as IT users, about the solution and thus eased change management.
