Case Study: Applegreen achieves 92% faster invoice processing with Kefron AP

Applegreen cuts invoice processing time by 92% with Kefron

Applegreen, a retailer operating 193 roadside outlets across Ireland, the UK, and the US, faced significant challenges scaling its accounts payable process. With 18,000 invoices arriving monthly from its many locations, its manual workflow was overwhelmed by inconsistent coding, duplicates, and a lack of a centralized repository. To support its rapid growth, Applegreen partnered with vendor Kefron to implement its Kefron AP solution for SAP automation.

Kefron implemented its SAP invoice automation platform to create a centralized, digital portal for all invoices. The solution automated data extraction, validation, and duplicate detection, routing exceptions for review. This enabled Applegreen to achieve a fully paperless workflow within six months and realize a 92% reduction in invoice processing time. The results included a searchable central repository and a scalable process that freed the AP team to focus on higher-value work.
