Case Studies

Client:

Our Client is a global online retailer with over 4,000 product lines across 6 categories. 

Need For Automation:

On average this eCommerce business receives around 400 invoices a month, supplier invoices get sent daily and logistic invoices twice weekly. The company’s accounts team were spending time collating emails, downloading invoices, uploading them into internal systems and taking care of the data entry involved; an exceedingly time consuming task. One of the biggest challenges for this business is that goods received don’t tally up with the invoices sent by the suppliers, there-fore the accounts department are needed to chase credit notes and handle reconciliations, however they were spending so much time on data entry involved with the supplier and logistic invoices, they had little time left for focusing on problem solving.
