Case Study: Heptagon achieves 30% more invoices processed without increasing headcount with Esker’s AP Automation

Processing 30% More Invoices Without Increasing Headcount Thanks to AP Automation

Heptagon, a global leader in 3D imaging, illumination and sensing solutions, faced long, manual invoice-processing times and rising invoice volumes that threatened AP efficiency. To improve worldwide invoice flow and prepare for growth, the company sought a replacement for its manual accounts payable workflow.

Heptagon implemented Esker’s cloud-based AP automation integrated with SAP to extract, verify and synchronize invoice data with minimal manual entry and to give suppliers a self-service portal. Today it processes over 1,000 invoices per month—30% more invoices without adding headcount—while virtually eliminating backlog, reducing errors, improving visibility and approval speed, and increasing supplier portal adoption (over one-third of suppliers).
