Case Study: Great Dane achieves automated, paperless accounts payable and full invoice visibility with IntelliChief

Intelligent Accounts Payable Automation

Great Dane, a leading transportation manufacturing company headquartered in Chicago that handles roughly 235,000–300,000+ invoices per year, struggled with a paper‑based Accounts Payable process: limited visibility, long paper processing times (paper invoices could take 20.7 days), heavy manual data entry, and difficulty supporting hybrid work and complex 3‑ and 4‑way matching. To solve this, Great Dane selected IntelliChief and its Intelligent Accounts Payable Automation solution.

IntelliChief implemented a JDE EnterpriseOne‑integrated AP automation platform to capture line‑item details, perform automated 3‑way matching against receipts and the price catalog, route exceptions, and ingest mailed invoices electronically. As a result, IntelliChief enabled the majority of Great Dane’s ~300,000 annual invoices to be processed automatically, significantly reduced manual data entry and paper verification for third‑party transactions, and delivered end‑to‑end visibility so teams can identify and clear backlogs more quickly.
