Case Study: Stant achieves 80% invoice automation and zero data-entry errors with Automation Anywhere

Stant Automates Complex Accounts Payable Processes

Stant, a 120‑year‑old tier‑1 automotive supplier with operations in five countries, was struggling with a labor‑intensive Accounts Payable process: manual invoice matching, data entry and exception handling created reporting delays, risked supplier payments and left the finance team little time for strategic supplier management.

After a successful RPA proof of concept with Thirdware, Stant deployed Automation Anywhere bots to automate invoice matching, manual invoice creation, approval workflows, data validation and exception reporting. The bots cut the invoice backlog from three weeks to four days, achieved ~80% straight‑through processing, eliminated data‑entry errors and processed 94% of targeted supplier invoices, freeing AP to focus on analysis and higher‑value activities.
