Case Study: Property Brokers achieves faster, more accurate invoice processing with Esker's cloud-based AP automation

Improving Supplier Invoice Processing With Cloud-Based Accounts Payable Automation

Property Brokers, New Zealand’s leading provincial real estate brand, was struggling with a paper-heavy accounts payable process: its head office processed 1,200–1,300 supplier invoices monthly, routing scanned invoices through up to five approvers, reprinting and rescanning at each step. The manual workflow caused frequent data-entry errors, duplicate payments, poor visibility into invoice status and slow, costly processing that constrained the finance team.

To solve this, Property Brokers implemented Fuji Xerox’s Esker cloud-based Accounts Payable automation integrated with Accredo. Esker captures invoices via email, uses intelligent data extraction and machine learning, supports multi-level electronic approvals, provides dashboards and audit trails, and sends mobile reminders. The result: faster, more accurate invoice handling with real-time visibility, reduced handling costs, fewer duplicates, no need for extra staff, quicker month-end close and better cost control for managers.
