Case Study: Overdrive Heavy Duty achieves 50% faster AP processing with Epicor ECM AP Automation

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 struggling to keep up with accounts payable after losing its AP clerk and relying on mostly manual invoice handling. The company was processing about 500 invoices a month, with time-consuming paper filing, 100% manual keying, and frequent risk of errors. To solve this, Overdrive turned to Epicor ECM AP Automation, integrated with Karmak Fusion.

Epicor implemented the AP automation solution with Intelligent Data Capture and tight Karmak Fusion connectivity, allowing invoices and related documents to be stored, retrieved, and approved digitally. The results were significant: Overdrive now processes 20–50 invoices a day, about 75% flow through straight-through processing, AP time dropped by at least 50%, and the company saved the equivalent of one full-time employee per year. The implementation was completed in under eight weeks, and Epicor helped Overdrive gain better visibility, lower labor and printing costs, and faster access to records.
