Case Study: Adactus Housing Group achieves stronger budgetary control and faster purchase-order processing with ABBYY

ABBYY Helps Adactus Improve Its Purchase Order Processes

Adactus Housing Group, a Lancashire-based housing association managing over 13,000 properties across the North West, needed better control and visibility over spending after auditors recommended stronger purchase controls. Its manual purchase order and invoice processes caused long delays, limited budget-holder oversight at the point of commitment, and higher operational costs, so the organisation sought an intuitive, Amazon‑style purchase ordering system that would tighten internal controls and improve value for money.

Adactus selected Invu and ABBYY FlexiCapture to deliver a web-based, self-service Purchase Order Processing solution that moves approval to the request stage, links GL codes to budget holders, and automates data capture, invoice indexing and PO matching. The rollout eliminated much manual work, increased transparency and budgetary control, improved invoice coding accuracy and regulatory compliance, reduced operating costs, and won positive user feedback thanks to its intuitive design and minimal training requirements.
