Case Study: Thrifty Car and Van Rental reduces AP processing costs by 50% with Glantus AP Automation

Thrifty Car and Van Rental - Customer Case Study

Thrifty Car and Van Rental, the UK’s largest privately owned rental company, needed to modernize accounts payable after relying on manual invoice entry into Pegasus Opera, signature-based approvals, and limited visibility and traceability. With 9,000 invoices processed each month across around 100 locations, the company needed a scalable way to reduce manual effort and improve control. Glantus provided its AP Automation solution to address these challenges.

Glantus implemented invoice verification, PO matching, matrix-based payment approvals, and automated posting to the Opera 3 accounting system. The result was over a 50% reduction in AP processing costs, with a team of just 3 handling 9,000 invoices per month along with expenses and fuel cards. Thrifty also achieved 100% invoice transparency, real-time reporting, faster exception handling, and automatic coding to the correct cost center and nominal.
