Case Study: Montgomery County Government achieves faster, more accurate timesheet and invoice processing with ABBYY FlexiCapture

ABBYY Technologies Save Government Agency Days

Montgomery County Government, Maryland’s largest jurisdiction, faced a paper-processing bottleneck: more than 10,000 timesheets every other week plus invoices for county-run liquor stores were being scanned and corrected manually, consuming days of staff time and producing frequent OCR errors that slowed Accounts Payable.

By deploying ABBYY FlexiCapture integrated with their ZyLAB imaging system, the county automated form capture and anchored key fields for accurate extraction. The change cut the timesheet cycle from five to three days and reduced staffing from four people to one for scanning, extraction and QA, while improving invoice-processing accuracy and enabling broader use across the AP department.
