OC Expediter is an enterprise procurement application that has helped County Departments and Agencies to transform complex, manual purchase requisitions and contract management processes into electronic workflows that increase efficiency, reduces staff processing time, and eliminates errors. Developed collaboratively by Orange County’s Information Technology Agency (OCIT) and the County Procurement Office (CPO), OC Expediter uses the latest technology to replace previously paper-based requisition processes, and provides users with the ability to route, approve, and process requisitions online. Users can now track contract balances and purchases at every step of the requisition lifecycle, and the application has built in business rules that perform system validations against available contract balances, and can trigger alerts to end-users. OCIT teams worked together to apply business rules that would ensure audit compliance. Overall requisition processing time has been reduced by at least 75%.
