Case Study: Sportina Group halves invoice processing time and eliminates manual data entry with ABBYY FlexiCapture

ABBYY FlexiCapture for Invoices Transforms Sportina Group’s Invoice Processing

Sportina Group, a fashion retailer operating more than 340 stores across Southeast Europe, was struggling to manage over 250,000 incoming invoices a year with manual entry and partial EDI—a slow, error-prone process that took 8–15 business days to confirm and post to its ERP. The company needed a scalable way to speed up invoice handling and reduce human data-entry errors.

Sportina implemented ABBYY FlexiCapture for Invoices with local partners Konica Minolta and Soluma, integrating OCR-driven capture with a document management system and its ERP. The new automated workflow halved processing time to 5–7 business days, eliminated manual data entry, lowered costs, and freed staff to focus on higher-value tasks; the solution was deployed professionally within two months.
