Case Study: Leeds City Council achieves 99% data extraction accuracy with Kefron AP invoice automation

How Leeds City Council achieved 99% accuracy with invoice processing automation

Leeds City Council, serving a population of over 800,000 in West Yorkshire, was struggling with an inefficient, manual, paper-based invoice process that was highly bespoke across services and difficult to manage in a hybrid working environment. To modernize its accounts payable function, the council turned to Kefron and its Kefron AP invoice automation solution.

Kefron implemented a tailored, digitised invoice processing automation system for Leeds City Council, streamlining invoice handling, reducing manual workload, and improving financial oversight and compliance. The project delivered 99% data extraction accuracy, saved hundreds of hours, and helped create a more paper-free AP process while enabling the council to deliver a significant digital change project within budget.
