Case Study: GEA Group achieves finance transformation and $400K savings with Automation Anywhere

GEA Americas’ Automation Strategy Shifts Finance into the Driver’s Seat

GEA Group, one of the world’s largest systems suppliers for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical sectors, faced talent shortages, fragmented processes, siloed systems, and inefficient data management in its Americas finance organization. With strict data protection requirements and resistance to changing long-standing workflows, GEA Group needed Automation Anywhere to help finance become leaner and more strategic.

Automation Anywhere implemented intelligent automation to streamline freight invoicing, invoice approval queue management, and backlog reporting, while building an in-house, scalable citizen development model. The results included 80+ automations deployed, 6,000+ hours saved, and $400,000 in operational savings, along with fewer errors, improved service, and stronger compliance.
