Case Study: Blue Star achieves 33% faster accounts payable processing with Datamatics’ Procure-to-Pay reengineering

Blue Star’s Entire Accounts Payables Improves by 33% with Procure-to-Pay Process Re-engineering

BlueStar, India’s leading air‑conditioning and commercial refrigeration company with ~$750M revenue, 2,800 employees and a nationwide network, needed to centralize accounts payable and automate its procure‑to‑pay cycle to address a lengthy ~40‑day invoice transit time, fragmented P2P processes across seven businesses, and heavy manual intervention. BlueStar selected Datamatics to reengineer and digitize its finance operations.

Datamatics implemented a centralized AP architecture, a customized vendor portal with AI PO‑flip, the iPM web workflow, TruBot RPA for invoice indexing and SAP posting, TruBI real‑time reporting, and a mobile app for approvals. The Datamatics solution reduced end‑to‑end booking time by 33% to 30 days, onboarded 7,000+ vendors, processed 70% of invoices through the portal, provided real‑time invoice visibility, and achieved 98% of payment requests within TAT.
