Case Study: Orientis Gourmet achieves faster, more transparent accounts payable processing with Esker’s cloud-based automation solution

Modernizing Its Accounts Payable Process With a Cloud-Based Automation Solution

Orientis Gourmet, the Paris-based owner of premium tea brands Kusmi Tea and Løv Organic, processes 12,000 non‑PO invoices a year—95% received on paper—from over 800 suppliers at its centralized AP hub in Le Havre. Rapid growth and a manual invoicing workflow created inefficiencies, poor traceability, limited approval visibility and frequent late payments that strained supplier relationships.

By deploying Esker’s cloud-based accounts payable automation fully integrated with its Cegid ERP, invoices are captured on arrival, posted in real time and routed automatically for validation. The result: faster, more transparent processing, real‑time accounting visibility in Cegid, customizable dashboards and KPIs, and higher staff satisfaction as employees are redeployed to more value‑added work.
