Case Study: Recology achieves 50%+ faster, 50%+ lower-cost AP processing with Bottomline Paymode-X

Recology was able to eliminate waste from their invoicing processes with Paymode-X

Recology Inc., a medium‑sized environmental services company, struggled with slow, error‑prone paper‑based AP processes that couldn’t keep up with invoice volume, lacked visibility into status updates, and led to frequent late fees. These challenges prompted Recology to evaluate an automated accounts payable solution.

By implementing Bottomline’s Invoice Automation and Paymode‑X, Recology digitized AP workflows, improved straight‑through processing, and scaled throughput to handle higher volumes. Results included faster, cheaper, and more accurate processing (>50% faster, >50% lower cost, >50% fewer errors), >75% increases in PO‑linked invoices and touchless processing, and >25% fewer late payments, plus reduced late fees and cash‑back rebates on spend.
