Case Study: Overdrive Heavy Duty halves AP processing time and eliminates 75% of manual data entry with DocStar

Epicor and Karmak Synergy Drives AP Automation for Overdrive Heavy Duty

Overdrive Heavy Duty, a family‑owned heavy‑duty repair business in Alberta, Canada, was burdened by a largely paper-based AP process—printing about 500 invoices a month and relying on 100% manual data entry, which was slow, error‑prone and hard to research when their AP clerk was out. To modernize and gain visibility, Overdrive deployed DocStar (now Epicor ECM AP Automation) integrated with Karmak Fusion.

DocStar implemented Epicor ECM AP Automation with Intelligent Data Capture and a Karmak Fusion connector to automate invoice capture and approval workflows. The result: AP processing time reduced by at least 50%, ~75% of manual keyboard entry eliminated, about 75% of invoices processed straight‑through, 20–50 invoices handled per day (and 150–200 processed in one day), implementation in under eight weeks, and labor savings equivalent to one full‑time employee per year.
