Case Study: Briggs Equipment achieves 66% touchless AP processing and scalable efficiency with Medius AP Automation

Briggs Equipment Drives Efficiency and Control with AP Automation

Briggs Equipment, a global distributor of Yale and Hyster materials‑handling equipment with 52 locations and about 2,700 employees, faced a dispersed, paper‑heavy accounts payable process handling roughly 220,000 supplier invoices per year and lacked visibility and control. In 2015 they selected Medius AP Automation to integrate with their upgraded Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP and to speed up approvals while providing measurable KPIs.

Medius implemented its AP Automation solution (integrated with Dynamics AX) in about three months, using EDI (40% of invoices) and Medius professional services to drive a largely touchless workflow. The results: touchless invoice processing rose from 0% to 66%, automatic distribution climbed to 82%, invoice approvals became much faster, and Briggs scaled growth without adding AP headcount—demonstrating clear efficiency and control gains from Medius.
