Simultaneously improving performance and efficiency while reducing invoice backlog.

Stant's Accounts Payable team was overwhelmed by the invoice-matching process, resulting in reporting delays and supplier payment risks. To address this, Stant implemented an invoice-matching bot, reducing the backlog from 3 weeks to just 4 days. Intelligent automation now handles tedious tasks like invoice matching and data entry, allowing the team to focus on troubleshooting and coordination using metrics generated by the Automation Success Platform. This enhanced ability to analyze and identify issues improves efficiency and supports strategic sourcing. By engaging with Thirdware and implementing the Automation Success Platform, Stant achieved significant results, including 80% straight-through processing, 94% targeted supplier invoices processed, and zero data entry errors.
