Streamlined Accounts Payable Process For A Large Automotive Parts Supplier

The Challenge: Manual Processes Stalling Growth

The client’s accounts payable system team struggled with a high volume of invoices arriving in multiple formats—emails, PDFs, and physical documents. Manually extracting, verifying, and approving each invoice led to delays, errors, and increased operational costs. Discrepancies between invoices and purchase orders created bottlenecks, requiring time-consuming manual interventions.

Additionally, routing paper invoices for approvals across departments resulted in misplaced documents and inconsistent tracking, further delaying payments and straining vendor relationships. As the company scaled, it became clear that continuing with a manual accounts payable process would be unsustainable. They needed an automated, intelligent solution to optimize invoice processing, improve accuracy, and ensure timely payments.

 

Solution: AI Automation for Seamless Invoice 

Datamatics implemented an intelligent automation solution that streamlined the entire accounts payable lifecycle, significantly reducing manual intervention and processing times.

  • Robotic Process Automation (RPA) with TruBot: Datamatics thoroughly analyzed the client’s requirements and deployed TruBot, an advanced RPA solution, to capture invoice data and automatically upload it into SAP and QAD. This eliminated repetitive manual data entry and accelerated invoice processing.
  • AI-Powered Document Processing with Finato: To manage invoices received at the shared services center, Finato workflow was implemented along with a document imaging solution, eliminating paper-based invoice routing. This enabled seamless digital document management, ensuring better tracking and visibility.
  • Automated Validation & Matching: The solution matched invoices with purchase orders and receipts, flagging discrepancies for quick resolution.
  • Streamlined Approvals: The automated workflow ensured that invoices were routed to the right approvers instantly, reducing turnaround time.

With  Finato, Datamatics provided the client with a fully automated, end-to-end accounts payable solution, enhancing efficiency, accuracy, and cost savings.
