Case Study: AAH Pharmaceuticals streamlines invoicing and cash application with BlackLine

AAH Pharmaceuticals cuts cash application time by 75% with BlackLine

AAH Pharmaceuticals, the UK's largest pharmaceutical wholesaler, faced significant challenges from its manual, paper-based invoicing. Generating 3.2 million paper invoices monthly created enormous labor for its credit team, led to four-day delays in cash posting, and left £40-£50 million in cash unallocated. The company needed a solution to handle its intense volume and integrate with its legacy ERP system, which led them to evaluate BlackLine's eInvoicing and Cash Application services.

By implementing BlackLine, AAH automated its invoicing and cash application processes. The vendor's solution digitized the delivery of 130,000 daily invoices, reduced cash application time by 75%, and cut unallocated cash by 97% to under £1.5 million. This freed 16 staff for higher-value work and saved £125,000 annually on paper costs while significantly reducing environmental impact. BlackLine also provided superior visibility and streamlined the customer experience by ensuring timely invoice delivery.
