Project Overview
A fast-growing retail business was struggling with the inefficiencies of manual invoice processing, handling thousands of invoices each month. The reliance on manual data entry led to frequent errors, approval delays, and an overall lack of visibility into financial workflows.
To eliminate bottlenecks and enhance financial accuracy, the company sought an intelligent automation solution. By partnering with Processberg, they successfully implemented Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to streamline their invoice processing, improving efficiency and reducing human intervention.
Challenges Faced
Before automation, the company’s invoice management workflow was labor-intensive and error-prone, leading to operational inefficiencies. Here are some key pain points they faced:
⏳ Time-Consuming Manual Work
- Employees manually processed each invoice, from data entry to validation and approval, leading to significant delays.
- Invoices often piled up, causing late payments and cash flow disruptions.
⚠️ Frequent Errors & Payment Discrepancies
- Data entry mistakes led to inconsistencies in invoice details, such as mismatched amounts and incorrect vendor information.
- These errors resulted in payment disputes, requiring extra time for reconciliation.
👁 Lack of Financial Visibility & Tracking
- The finance team had no real-time tracking system to monitor invoice statuses, leading to missed deadlines and approval backlogs.
- The absence of automated compliance checks made it difficult to ensure financial accuracy.
