Foreword Coffee: Building inclusivity for people with disabilities
Foreword Coffee is a Singapore-based social enterprise that works to normalise inclusivity by employing and training differently-abled persons at their cafes located across the country. Over one-third of their employees identify as a person with a disability or having a mental health need. Using Xero’s Hubdoc, Foreword Coffee introduced efficiencies to their document management process. Anybody on their team could now easily capture and upload financial documents directly to the organisation’s Xero accounting platform, enhancing accuracy and real time visibility into finances.
The Challenge
Foreword Coffee is a Singapore-based social enterprise that works to normalise inclusivity by employing and training differently-abled persons at their cafes located across the country.Over one-third of their employees identify as a person with a disability or having a mental health need. As they expanded, they began to face difficulties consolidating all their bills on time, with invoices coming in at different moments from multiple outlets.
The Solution
Xero’s Hubdoc provided Foreword Coffee with an efficient, easy to use solution out of the box. Staff members, including those that are not accounting trained, can simply take photos of financial documents with their mobile phones, whereupon Hubdoc’s automatic data capture capabilities will automatically upload the financial data into their Xero accounting records for better accuracy and real-time visibility.
