Case Study: Honda Logistics turns Accounts Payable into a Profit Center with Ephesoft

Honda Logistics turns AP into a Profit Center with Document Automation

Honda Logistics, North America, faced a costly, manual accounts payable process handling roughly 120,000 invoices per year across seven operating companies and an older JD Edwards system. To automate capture and approvals, they implemented Ephesoft Transact for advanced document capture (integrated with Tungsten Network Workflow and Fujitsu scanners) to reduce manual data entry and streamline routing and validation.

Using Ephesoft’s machine-learning capture to identify vendor data and integrate with Tungsten Network Workflow and JD Edwards, Honda Logistics now validates invoices within 48 hours, processes 120,000 invoices with just two staff, and manages about $2.3M in weekly check flow. The Ephesoft-enabled solution improved aging (no invoices unpaid longer than 90 days), sped audits and reporting, delivered cashflow visibility for deep discounts and SUA rebates, and helped convert AP into a profit center.
