Challenge: Prior to 1998, using Excel spreadsheets for purchase orders (PO’s), schedules and capital management was a way of life at Blockbuster. Keeping track of goods ordered and receivables was a nightmare. Managing capital, PO’s and invoices was very error prone and labor intensive

Corporate approved business rules now enforce company wide cost saving initiatives and standards. All Capital Expenditures, General Contractor Bidding, Vendor Scheduling, Purchase Orders and Invoices are all managed by SolutionTek software.
