Case Study: Hornady achieves AP efficiency and better cash forecasting with Esker

Eliminating manual processes and elevating work-life balance with Esker Accounts Payable

Hornady Manufacturing Company, a family-owned global leader in ammunition, reloading tools, and secure-storage products, faced growing accounts payable volumes that its manual processes could no longer handle efficiently. The AP team struggled to prioritize work, keep invoices moving, and decide whether to add headcount or find a better solution. Hornady chose Esker Accounts Payable automation to address these challenges.

With Esker, Hornady implemented automated workflows and a real-time dashboard that organized invoice data, improved visibility, and routed invoices for approvals without manual research. Esker helped the team increase efficiency, handle work more flexibly, and improve work-life balance. Hornady also reported a reduction and then leveling off of its AP aging balance, which improved stability for cash forecasting, while tracking metrics like days to pay vendors and approval turnaround times.
