Case Study: House of Cheatham streamlines accounts payable and saves time with MineralTree

House of Cheatham saves 20 hours a week with MineralTree

House of Cheatham, a long-standing manufacturer of personal care products, faced challenges with a manual, paper-based accounts payable process that was time-consuming and lacked visibility. With only one AP staff member, the company needed an automated solution to handle increasing invoice volume and prevent errors. Staff Accountant David Carter sought an AP automation platform and, after evaluating several vendors, selected MineralTree for its robust functionality and seamless integration with their Microsoft Great Plains ERP system.

MineralTree implemented its AP automation solution, including its SilverPay virtual card payment method, to streamline invoice capture, coding, and approval workflows. The results were significant, saving approximately 20 hours per week in AP processing time and reducing weekly payment runs from six hours to just five minutes. The solution provided critical visibility and control, improving cash flow management. Notably, the rebates from SilverPay fully funded the cost of the MineralTree platform, and the company anticipates the solution will soon break even on all payment fees.
