Case Study: 2 Sisters Food Group achieves 97% process automation and £250,000 annual savings with Mendix

UK’s Largest Poultry Supplier Automates with RPA and Low-Code

2 Sisters Food Group, the UK’s largest poultry supplier with 23,000 employees across 42 sites, faced a heavy manual burden in its shared services center, which handled financial transactions for nearly 80% of the business. Accounts teams were spending large amounts of time on paper- and Excel-driven data entry—about 25 hours per day just preparing sheets for ERP input—so while the team had started using RPA to key transactions, inconsistent and unstructured inbound data limited its impact.

To fix that, 2 Sisters partnered with AuraQ and used Mendix low-code to build a data-cleansing and structuring app in under four weeks that feeds clean data to RPA bots. The combined RPA + low-code approach immediately saved 2.5 hours per day, scaled to automate 11 transactional processes (moving from 100% manual to 97% automated within six weeks), cut invoice verification holds from 65% to 8%, produced 5,100 customer templates, and is estimated to save about £250,000 a year—freeing staff for higher-value analytical work.
