North American Services Company Automates Invoice Processing Through Agreement Worth Over 500,000 USD


One of the oldest and most respected services companies in the United States specializing in natural resource management will streamline its end-to-end accounts payable process with ReadSoft's SAP®-certified invoice automation solution. The agreement is worth over 500,000 USD and was signed during the first quarter of 2012.

Through a highly-decentralized business model, the services organization caters to clients of all industries across North America, but its accounts payable cycle suffered costly delays and errors as it stretched across remote locations. Shipping and faxing paper invoices among multiple locations became the norm for accounts payable staff which provided minimal visibility and control over the entire invoice process. Ultimately, the customer aimed to centralize and streamline AP operations to gain greater control and visibility over invoices inside its enterprise resource planning system (ERP), SAP, and throughout its AP cycle.

ReadSoft, with a strong history of successful SAP invoice automation implementations in North America, was deemed the market leader within the SAP segment by the customer, providing the most complete invoice automation solution based on best practices. With ReadSoft's SAP-certified solution, the company can processes invoices electronically, which provides immediate visibility of invoices in SAP and during any stage in the AP process. As the company no longer pushes paper throughout its AP process, processing accuracy and speed work simultaneously to improve supplier relations and increase early payment discounts.

"In this case, decentralization is a critical component of this company's successful business model, but the costs were stacking up in its back-office operations," says Per Ã…kerberg, President and CEO of ReadSoft. "With our strong North American automation implementation expertise, this company can maintain successful operations across remote locations with critical invoice processing functionality to run a smoother, more cost-effective AP process in the long-run."
