Case Study: Food Alert achieves 90% accounts payable time savings with Compleat Software

Food Alert achieves efficiency savings above 90% by automating the accounts payable process with Compleat

Food Alert, a London-based food hygiene, health & safety business, needed to simplify and speed up a decade-long, manual invoice capture and processing workflow. After more than 100 hours researching options, finance director Mehrdad Modarres chose Compleat Software’s invoice automation solution (Compleat) to deliver affordable invoice capture and approval automation that would remove repetitive tasks and free the team to focus on higher-value work.

Compleat Software helped Food Alert register and set up the system in minutes, then used e-Invoice Transaction credits (£0.40 per invoice) to automate header and line-level data capture and provide direct, real-time integration into their Sage Line 50 accounting system. The 5-user deployment (retailing at £45/month) delivered major time savings for the accounts team—Mehrdad reports reductions of over 90% versus manual AP—while enabling automated online buying, easier spend analysis and measurable cost and efficiency improvements.
