DHL selects DataCert's AIMS for manage legal services spend

DataCert, a provider of legal and IP spend and matter management solutions, has announced that DHL has chosen its advanced invoice management system to help the worldwide express delivery and logistics company simplify the legal invoice payment process and control its legal spend.

Using DataCert’s legal spend management software, DHL’s law firms and vendors can submit invoices in an electronic format. Line items that do not comply with DHL’s corporate billing guidelines will be corrected or flagged for further review. Advanced invoice management system (AIMS) will also guide each invoice through designated workflows and approval postings, creating a legal spend database.

This reportable database of comprehensive legal spend data will give DHL’s legal department the ability to analyze, forecast and reduce future spend.

Jon Olin, general counsel for Americas at DHL, said: “DHL selected AIMS for its ability to provide a substantial return on investment both financially and operationally. The actionable metrics produced by AIMS will help us develop an in-depth understanding of our legal spend and drive strategic business decisions regarding law department operations.”
