Case Study: Valdese Weavers achieves 150 hours/month savings by automating document processes with Esker

Saving 150 Hours Per Month By Automating Critical Business Documents With Esker

Valdese Weavers, a leading U.S. decorative textiles manufacturer, faced inefficiencies from a high volume of inbound and outbound paper documents despite using SAP. Manual processing drove up paper and postage costs and consumed staff time, so the company sought a solution to reduce paper, speed approvals and improve document accessibility.

Valdese implemented Esker DeliveryWare to automate and archive vendor invoices, POs, customer invoices, order acknowledgements, remittance advices and ad hoc SAP reports, including automated scanning and PDF generation for bills of lading. The automation saved about 150 hours per month (≈$18,000/year) and $40–50K annually in paper and postage, virtually eliminated paper handling, and provided instant document visibility within SAP.
