A leading retail company’s Accounts Payable team processed invoices in hundreds of different formats, manually extracting data from each one to enter into their ERP system. The sheer variability made standard automation approaches expensive to maintain, since formats kept changing.
On top of that, manual entries into the “Goods Received” register added another layer of complexity and another point where delays and errors could creep in.
• High variability across hundreds of invoice formats
• Manual, repetitive data extraction into the ERP system
• High TAT from the sheer volume of manual handling
• Seasonal spikes in invoice volume straining the team further
• Errors and duplicate payments slipping through manual checks
