Some key takeaways from this episode include:
The Covid pandemic forced a lot of companies to examine their processes and the ease of automation and streamlining for remote offices. AvidXchange allowed Speedway Motorsports to work seamlessly together in their accounts payable processes.
We can learn so much from our teams about how we can grow as leaders. Creating an environment where your team can give you - and each other - constructive criticism in a respectful manner will help you grow exponentially.
Before switching to AvidXchange, Sara had an exclusively paper system for onboarding and accounts payable. After switching, the team didn’t miss a beat in their processes because the automation and digital formats made it way easier to stay on top of.
