Case Study: Lidl achieves 95% automated invoice reading with ITESOFT Streamline for Invoices

LIDL - Customer Case Study

Lidl, a major distribution chain with 1,500 supermarkets, 25 logistics platforms, and 2 service centres, needed to absorb rapidly growing invoice volumes while increasing the share of electronic invoices and protecting sensitive data. Its accounts payable team was handling a large number of paper invoices in SAP, making manual processing costly and time-consuming, so Lidl selected ITESOFT after benchmark testing against other vendors.

ITESOFT implemented ITESOFT Streamline for Invoices to capture invoices across channels, automate data extraction and controls, and integrate with SAP on a secure hosted platform. The solution achieved over 95% automatic data extraction in less than two months and 70% of invoices with zero touch processing, helping Lidl handle 720,000 invoices per year more efficiently while improving security, compliance, and remote-working readiness.
