Case Study: Nordson achieves AP automation and streamlined processing with Basware

How Basware Enabled Nordson to Grow Without Adding Headcount

Nordson, a global leader in precision technology serving industries from medical to packaging, faced a chaotic, highly manual accounts payable process. High AP team turnover, paper printing, scanning and forwarding emails created bottlenecks that slowed processing and consumed staff time.

By implementing Basware AP Automation, Nordson automated invoice intake, removed manual handling, and built an integrated workflow that pulls approver names and roles daily. The result: faster processing (average 4 days), higher accuracy (89% first pass match), improved on‑time payments (62%), remote work continuity, the ability to absorb subsidiary workloads without extra hires, and freed AP staff to focus on strategic finance work.
