Case Study: Pacific Steel Casting Company achieves stronger cash flow and paperless AP with IntelliChief

Building Stronger Cash Flow with IntelliChief ECM Automated Accounts Payable

Pacific Steel Casting Company, a long‑established U.S. steel foundry running B&L BLIS‑400 Odyssey ERP, was struggling with paper‑heavy Accounts Payable processes that caused data entry backlogs, frequent duplicate payments (two to three times a month), lost documents and constrained cash flow. After evaluating options, they selected IntelliChief and its ECM Automated Accounts Payable solution (with integrated tools like FastFax) to pursue a paperless, automated purchasing and AP workflow.

IntelliChief implemented end‑to‑end capture, archival and workflow—activating requisition approvals, electronic POs, scanned receiving/packing slips, automated invoice capture and on‑screen four‑way matching integrated with B&L—eliminating the need for printed copies and filing cabinets. As a result, IntelliChief delivered a paperless purchase‑to‑pay process, virtually eliminated duplicate payment errors (down from 2–3 per month to nearly zero), improved cash flow and enabled Pacific Steel Casting Company to capture vendor discounts and faster approvals.
