Case Study: Boston Celtics achieve faster invoice processing with MineralTree

Boston Celtics cut invoice processing from 10 days to 2 with MineralTree

The NBA's Boston Celtics faced a significant challenge in their manual accounts payable process, where an increasing volume of invoices led to overwhelmed department heads, lost paperwork, and lengthy approval cycles. Accounting Manager Alice Zottoli sought a solution to simplify the vendor payment process and ensure data accuracy, leading the organization to evaluate AP automation vendors including MineralTree.

Implementing MineralTree's AP automation solution provided a seamless, centralized platform that integrated bidirectionally with NetSuite and enabled direct payment processing from the Celtics' bank account. The results were transformative: invoice processing time dropped from 10 days to 2, monthly time savings reached 8 days, and data was captured with 99.5% accuracy. MineralTree eliminated manual chasing for approvals and allowed the finance team to focus on strategic accuracy and forecasting.
