Case Study: Metso achieves global accounts-payable transformation and significant cost savings with Basware e-invoicing

Automated E-Invoicing Leads to Global Transformation for Metso

Metso, a global supplier of sustainable technology and services for the process industries, faced the challenge of centralising accounts payable across multiple sites and business units and replacing a time-consuming, error-prone paper invoicing process with a consistent, controllable solution.

Partnering with Basware, Metso implemented a three‑phase transformation—building shared service centres, rolling out e‑invoicing with suppliers, and integrating the solution with multiple ERP systems—now electronically processing about 1 million invoices a year. The result: significant cost savings, much faster and more consistent invoice handling, increased control over purchasing, and a clear path to a paperless purchase‑to‑pay process.
