Case Study: Gulf Oil eliminates manual bottlenecks with ClearDox intelligent automation

How Gulf Oil mitigated costly errors and eliminated data bottlenecks

Gulf Oil was dealing with two time-consuming manual workflows that created bottlenecks and risk: processing thousands of freight invoices and actualizing renewable fuel movements in its ETRM system. These tasks involved hand-entered data, manual matching, and repeated corrections, which delayed payments, tied up staff, and affected inventory accuracy.

ClearDox implemented intelligent automation to extract, standardize, reconcile, and route data from invoices and bills of lading into Gulf Oil’s ERP and ETRM systems. With ClearDox, invoice processing is now largely automated, schedulers spend less time entering data, suppliers get paid faster, and employees who once spent five to fifteen minutes per invoice can focus on higher-value work; Gulf Oil also reported significantly more accurate inventory positions and fewer penalties from late payments.
