Case Study: Leading Chemical Distributor achieves 100% eInvoicing and continent-wide AP efficiency with Direct Commerce

Direct Commerce continues to help a major chemical distributor simplify workflows and improve operations among 700 North American distribution facilities

Leading Chemical Distributor, a $10 billion company operating from 700 North American distribution facilities and working with 30,000 suppliers, struggled with paper invoices that slowed supply chain and financial operations. After internal efforts fell short, the company turned to Direct Commerce for eInvoicing and workflow solutions and supplier portal services to replace manual invoice processing.

Direct Commerce implemented its eInvoicing & Workflow platform (including the Direct Commerce Supplier Portal and document scanning with two- and three-way matching), fully integrating with the distributor’s ERP. The result: 100% of invoices are now processed electronically, eliminating paper transactions, improving visibility into POs, approvals and payments, speeding exception resolution, and handling ~38,575 monthly invoices more efficiently across the business.
