Case Study: Peterson Auto Group achieves 95% faster AP processing and $35K annual savings with CDK Global AP Automation

How Automating Accounts Payable Yielded Money-Saving Results

Peterson Auto Group in Boise, Idaho, faced a time‑consuming, paper‑heavy accounts payable process—physically routing invoices and cutting about 2,500 checks each month while waiting for General and Department Managers’ approvals. To address this, the dealer implemented AP Automation from CDK Global, powered by Yooz and Nvoicepay AP Assist®.

CDK Global’s AP Automation uses Yooz’s OCR and learning algorithms to auto‑capture invoices and assign GL codes, with Nvoicepay AP Assist® generating electronic payments and rebates. The results: invoice entry fell from ~5 minutes to about 15 seconds (≈95% time savings), approvals dropped from 45 to 5 minutes, daily bill‑pay time is now ~15 minutes, and per‑check costs fell from $5 to $1.43—saving nearly $35,000 annually—while eliminating file cabinets and giving managers instant visibility into invoice status.
