Case Study: AlphaPet Ventures GmbH achieves real-time cashflow control and transparent accounts payable with DocuWare Cloud

AlphaPet Ventures GmbH - Customer Case Study

Munich-based AlphaPet Ventures, a fast-growing online retailer of premium pet food formed from a merger of two start-ups, faced an unwieldy accounts process as volumes surged: invoices were split between PDFs on servers, paper folders and an external accounting office, making it costly, slow and nearly impossible to get a timely overview of liabilities and cashflow.

The company implemented DocuWare Cloud as a tamper-proof document management system with automated indexing and digital workflows, integrated with its external accounting partner. The cloud rollout was quick, gave real-time visibility into invoice status and payment dates, sped up approvals and ensured audit-ready transparency — freeing up cash for warehousing and marketing, improving supplier relations and strengthening overall finance control.
