Case Study: American Engineering Testing, Inc. achieves automated invoice approvals and cost savings with DocuWare

American Engineering Testing, Inc. - Customer Case Study

American Engineering Testing (AET) is an employee‑owned, multi‑disciplinary consulting engineering firm based in St. Paul, Minnesota, with 11 branch offices and roughly 255–350 staff. The company relied on a paper‑based accounts payable process—manual stamps, physical routing and long filing delays—which produced lost invoices, no way to track approvals across offices, slow payments and costly administrative overhead.

Working with DocuWare and partner AMI, AET scanned incoming invoices and implemented an electronic approval workflow with automated indexing and OCR/barcode capture. The system delivers instant, secure access to documents, clear approval tracking and automated routing, eliminating lost invoices, cutting retrieval time to seconds, reducing late fees while capturing early‑payment discounts, improving productivity and compliance, and positioning the firm for future growth.
