New Mexico State University

Uses RevenueVision® to Increase ROI through Financial Automation

BACKGROUND

New Mexico State University has been a RevenueVision® subscriber for just under a year starting in March 2017, but is already using the platform to significantly change the efficiency of its auxiliary organization. A comprehensive Auxiliaries Department with housing, dining services, golf course, parking, bookstore, storage, and a retail merchant network, NMSU is using RevenueVision® to scale its auxiliary reach while managing headcount reductions coming from several staff retirements.

CHALLENGES

  • Four (4) staff members retiring over the next three years is creating a need for centralization of contract and financial information and increased staff efficiencies
  • Current invoicing process is very labor intensive and requires three manual steps to pull a report, confirm payments amounts, and issue a check
  • Scaling the merchant network to respond to interest from two national chains could also double manual work on invoicing
  • Needed to increase confidence in revenue and operations through systematic collection and analysis

RESULTS

  • On track to reduce auxiliary finance staffing costs by ~20% by 2020 by rationalizing roles and putting into place a change of duties to allow the replacement of a senior-level accountant with a lower level position.
  • Automating invoicing process to reduce labor costs, efficiently scale merchants participating in the Aggie Cash program, and target a ~30% increase in AggieCash administrative fee income to Auxiliaries by 2020.
  • Using RevenueVision® to support the AVP of Auxiliary Services with real-time data on how each business line is doing to help answer the “question of the day” that comes up from the President, Board, or other senior leaders
