Case Study: Aggreko achieves unified global AP, faster invoice processing and lower costs with Basware Invoice Automation

Unified global processes improved productivity, reporting and job satisfaction within Accounts Payable at Aggreko

Aggreko, a global leader in temporary power and temperature control solutions, faced slow, manual accounts payable processes across Europe—processing nearly 100,000 invoices from about 9,000 suppliers—leading to duplicate or lost invoices, payment errors, lack of auditability and inconsistent practices across business units. These inefficiencies created cash‑management risks and poor supplier service while tying up staff in admin tasks.

Aggreko implemented Basware Invoice Automation, Basware Match and ERP linking (with implementation support from nSYS), using electronic invoice capture, automated PO matching, approval flows and a full audit trail. The solution unified AP processes, reduced duplicates and lost invoices, sped up month‑end reporting, enabled KPI reporting, lowered operating costs and telecom/printing expenses, and increased AP productivity and job satisfaction as the platform was rolled out to other regions.
