When you're able to approve purchase orders from the side of the road using a BlackBerry smartphone, that obviously makes a big difference to our vendors and helps us to become a better partner to them. – Bob Kroner, VP IT, Regency Centers

Business Challenge

Regency Centers needed to give its construction managers a way to remotely approve purchase orders so they could spend more time on the job site and in contractor meetings, while also keeping the company’s payment processes running smoothly.

Solution

Using the RF-SMART PO Approval application, developed by BlackBerry® Alliance Program member ICS on the Dexterra Concert™ mobility platform, construction managers and VPs can now approve purchase order (PO) requests on their BlackBerry smartphones. The approved PO is automatically routed to their back end, Oracle® JD Edwards Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, where it’s processed for payment.

Results

  • Keeps construction managers in the field
  • Benefits company reputation
  • Helps speed up financial processing
  • Leverages value of the BlackBerry solution
