Case Study: Silver Eagle Distributors achieves 90% touchless AP processing and full financial visibility with Medius AP Automation

Gaining Financial Visibility in Weeks With Automated AP Workflows

Silver Eagle Distributors, L.P., the nation’s largest Anheuser‑Busch distributor and second‑largest overall beer distributor, processes nearly 150,000 invoices a year across multiple Texas locations. The AP team was burdened by a manual, paper‑based three‑way matching and tracking process that created blind spots around non‑PO spend, slowed month‑end accruals and forecasting, and degraded internal and supplier perceptions. To solve this, Silver Eagle engaged Medius and deployed Medius AP Automation for expense and PO‑based invoices.

Medius integrated Medius AP Automation with Silver Eagle’s Microsoft Dynamics ERP to automate invoice capture, PO matching, exception routing and reporting. The implementation delivered measurable results: over 90% of invoices are now processed automatically, average approval lead time dropped to 18 hours, and average deviation analysis time to 23 hours. Medius also enabled real‑time accruals, pending‑approval and budget reporting, mobile approvals and a largely touchless AP process—giving Silver Eagle clear financial visibility and faster, more accurate reporting.
