Case Study: Nelnet achieves 80–90% faster remote processing and same-day AP workflows with Bottomline Transform AP

How Transform®AP Modernized the Accounting Process at Nelnet, Inc

Nelnet Inc., a provider of education and business solutions, faced growing complexity in its accounts payable function that relied on an inefficient, paper-based system. Daily check requisitions and multi-step manual approvals led to time-consuming processes, late-payment penalties, lack of document visibility, error-prone handling during staff changes, and insecure storage of sensitive records.

Nelnet implemented Bottomline Technologies’ Transform AP, a SharePoint-based invoice automation solution integrated with Microsoft Dynamics GP, to centralize paper and electronic invoices, automate approvals, and provide auditing, reporting and searchable storage. The change cut remote processing time by 80–90%, shortened two- to six-day workflows to a single day, allowed higher invoice volumes without adding staff, and improved compliance, visibility and dispute resolution.
