Case Study: INNIO Jenbacher achieves centralized AP automation and millions in annual early-payment discounts with Basware AP Automation

Unlocking value through automation and centralization of AP services

INNIO, a global manufacturer of gas engines and cogeneration modules, needed a standalone accounts payable (AP) system after its 2018 carve-out from General Electric. Facing a tight timeline, high volumes of PDF invoices, multiple markets and ERPs, and a goal to centralize AP services, the company sought a flexible solution with strong invoice recognition, mailroom support and seamless Oracle integration.

After selecting Basware for its open architecture and global services, INNIO implemented a tailored AP automation solution with supplier enablement and a dedicated rollout team. The result: 95% spend-under-control, 85% e-invoicing, 70% automatic invoice matching, consolidation of AP into one shared service center in Budapest, a 30–50% reduction in resource needs, and millions of euros unlocked annually through early payment discounts.
