Case Study: Fortune 500 Manufacturer achieves 70% faster AP processing and improved cash flow with IntelliChief ECM for Oracle

Manufacturer Automates Savings with ECM for Oracle

Fortune 500 Company, a Midwestern manufacturer of 13,000+ products selling through direct, distributor and e‑commerce channels and running Oracle, faced slow, manual Accounts Payable processes: more than 10,000 invoices a year, heavy paper handling (60% email/40% mail), a 6‑person AP team supplemented by 30 contract temps, and repeated late fees and missed vendor discounts from manual keying into Oracle. To modernize AP and improve cash flow they selected IntelliChief ECM, deploying Capture Enterprise and workflow automation as their starting point.

IntelliChief implemented automated document capture, indexing and ERP-integrated workflow, eliminating most manual data entry and routing. The company cut daily document processing time by over 70%, reallocated 20% of AP staff, reassigned all 30 contract temps, removed dozens of filing cabinets (34 in Financial Services), and reduced auditor search time to virtually zero; Capture Enterprise also proved critical for disaster recovery after a flood. IntelliChief’s solution has been expanded across Purchasing, Customer Service, AR and Distribution, with plans to roll out additional workflows and IntelliChief Analytics for real‑time visibility.
