The North Star: Our Compass

A North Star is a single, simple question that determines whether or not we build a feature. At Elari, that question is: Does this save time when obtaining goods and services? If not, we don’t build it.

That means more time for clients in healthcare, more time for teaching in schools, and more attention for children in childcare.

Where does the time go?

Submitting expense reports, reviewing invoices, approving purchase orders: it all takes time. Often more than necessary, due to manual steps and unclear approval workflows. Elari simplifies these processes, resulting in time savings of up to 21% on invoice processing.

How the North Star Works

Our North Star guides every product decision. We evaluate every improvement based on one question: Does this save time in the spend process without compromising control?

1. Measure

We analyze anonymized click, keystroke, and navigation data within Elari to identify where employees spend the most time: on invoices, purchase orders, expense reports, contract management, card transactions, and application management.

2. Discover

We identify patterns and bottlenecks in that data and immediately see where the process is stalling.

3. Improve

We automate manual steps, streamline approval workflows, and develop product improvements that have an immediate impact.

What this means in practice

Cosis processes thousands of invoices per month in Elari. Thanks to process optimization in Elari, time-consuming manual steps were eliminated and approval workflows were accelerated.

Continuous improvement, measurable results

Saving time isn’t just a one-time promise. Every year, we implement hundreds of improvements that make the process more intuitive and efficient.

Every improvement stems from the usage data we collect within Elari: we identify where employees run into issues and adapt the product accordingly.

This way, Elari continues to evolve alongside how organizations actually work, rather than being delivered once and then remaining static.
