Case Study: Viking Line achieves streamlined spend management by automating AP and Procurement with Medius

Viking Line navigates efficient spend management by automating Accounts Payable and Procurement with Medius

Viking Line, the Finland‑based ferry and cruise operator, needed to replace its aging on‑premises Accounts Payable system and centralize a fragmented, manual procurement process across ships and subsidiaries. After vetting four vendors, Viking Line selected Medius — deploying Medius AP Automation for invoice capture and processing and Medius Procurement to automate POs, approvals and contract‑based buying.

Medius implemented cloud AP automation first in one company and then across the parent and four subsidiaries, enabling staff to process more invoices in less time, virtually eliminating late payments and penalty fees and allowing AP to work remotely during COVID. Medius Procurement centralized supplier catalogs and approvals, improved visibility into budgets and contracts, delivered company‑wide purchasing power and reduced waste — outcomes Viking Line cites as clearer tracking, faster workflows and measurable time and cost savings.
