Like teachers everywhere, the teachers at Laurel County Public Schools would search the web and thumb through paper catalogs to find the products and materials needed to do their primary job – teach our children. Every day, teachers in 15 schools would write their orders by hand and then send them to their bookkeeper for data entry. Only at that point would there be an electronic entry of order data.
But that was then. This is now.
With help from eSchoolMall.

Procurement Process Improvement
Teachers at Laurel County Public Schools now login to easyPurchase™ and search Laurel County vendors online to find the products and materials needed to do their primary job.
Requisitions flow electronically according to Laurel County Public Schools’ business rules. Integration between easyPurchase and Laurel County’s MUNIS Financial System ensures that funds are accounted for properly. There is no more paper in the process.
“Our bookkeepers do multiple jobs at their schools,” said Amy Smith, CPA, Director of Accounting at Laurel County Schools. “They are the nurse, the greeter and the office manager.”
Making their lives more effective and efficient was a major goal for Smith and the implementation team at Laurel County. “We needed to eliminate the paper and eliminate the redundant data entry,” said Smith.
The results have been impressive. The District processes over 2,500 purchase requisitions a quarter. Each requisition is now processed electronically from start to finish. The District has seen cost savings and time savings for everyone involved.
“With eSchoolMall’s help, we’re now turning our attention to our sourcing activities, which are completely paper-based,” concluded Smith.
