Case Study: Hilmar Cheese Company improves AP automation and invoice processing with DataServ

Five Years In and Still Getting Better: The Hilmar Cheese and DataServ Partnership

Hilmar Cheese Company, one of the world's largest cheese manufacturers, faced the challenge of processing high invoice volumes with a lean team using a manual, paper-based system that lacked visibility. Their goal was to eliminate paper and establish a scalable, exception-based workflow. To achieve this, they partnered with DataServ to implement its AP automation solution.

DataServ implemented its Invoice Processing Machine™ and AutoVouch™ solutions, creating a paperless, digital workflow. The results included processing over 6,425 invoices monthly with 99.9-100% capture accuracy and reducing invoice cycle times to under five days. The partnership with DataServ also focused on continuous improvement, leading to a 38% reduction in vendor exceptions and a clear pathway to even higher automation rates.
