Case Study: Large Automotive Parts Supplier achieves 50% faster disbursements and 40% headcount reduction with Datamatics

Streamlined Accounts Payable Process For A Large Automotive Parts Supplier

Large Automotive Parts Supplier, a leading global supplier of engineered automotive sealing and anti-vibration solutions with $824M revenue and 8,000 employees, faced a decentralized, paper‑intensive accounts payable (AP) operation across multiple locations that caused lost invoices, delayed payments and month‑end closures, inefficient query resolution, and business‑continuity risks. Datamatics was engaged to optimize and centralize AP, proposing automation and process standardization using its TruBot RPA and iPM workflow alongside other tools.

Datamatics implemented TruBot to capture and upload invoice data into SAP and QAD, deployed iPM workflow for document imaging and approval routing, added a duplicate‑auditing tool and automated IXOS attachment process, and applied mitigation and transition strategies. The Datamatics solution centralized AP and delivered measurable results: 40% headcount reduction, 50% shorter disbursement cycle, 80% reduction in paperwork, 100% supplier satisfaction and SOX compliance, and faster month‑end closures.
