Case Study: Furst-McNess achieves 42% touchless AP and 286 hours saved with Medius AP Automation

Medius helps fuel growth for Furst-McNess with AP Automation

Furst-McNess, a century-old manufacturer and commodity supplier operating out of 12 offices across the US and Canada with plans to double by 2026, struggled with a manual, paper-based AP process that created long delays, required heavy data entry, lacked company-wide visibility, and couldn’t handle complex purchase orders with secondary “load numbers.” To modernize payables and support growth, Furst-McNess selected Medius and its Medius AP Automation solution.

Medius implemented its AP Automation with a pre-built connector to SAP S/4HANA, eliminating printing and manual data entry, automating approvals and two- and three-way matching (including mapping load numbers), and connecting four administration hubs for instant visibility. The result: a 42% touchless capture rate, an estimated 286 hours saved in the first four months, three staff reallocated to higher-value work, reduced duplicate-pay risk, better cashflow analytics, and plans to expand with Medius Pay.
