Case Study: Reily Foods achieves sub-2-day invoice processing and near-paperless accounts payable with Medius AP Automation

Reily Foods Achieves Significant Accounts Payable Efficiencies with Automation and the Cloud

Reily Foods, a fourth‑generation family‑owned food and beverage distributor, faced a time‑consuming accounts payable process that required seven full‑time staff to manually process roughly 100,000 invoices a year using a Windows‑based document system with no collaborative visibility or baseline reporting. After evaluating multiple vendors, Reily Foods selected Medius and its Medius AP Automation, seeking easier scalability, a better user experience, and tighter integration with their Microsoft Dynamics AX ERP.

Medius deployed Medius AP Automation in four months with a seamless go‑live and full IT buy‑in; the solution eliminated most manual matching and data entry, provided real‑time visibility into outstanding invoices, and simplified month‑end and year‑end closes. As a result, Reily Foods cut end‑to‑end invoice processing to under 40 hours, freed AP staff to focus on KPIs and continuous improvement, and gained clearer cash management and reporting capabilities.
