Case Study: Boston Celtics achieve 80% faster invoice processing (10 to 2 days) with MineralTree

The Boston Celtics reduce time required to pay invoices from 10 to 2 days with MineralTree

The Boston Celtics, an organization that prizes accuracy on and off the court, faced a growing accounts payable bottleneck: a manual, paper- and email-driven approval process that overwhelmed department heads during the season, led to lost invoices and long follow-ups, and threatened timely, accurate financial reporting and forecasting.

The team implemented MineralTree integrated with NetSuite—using bidirectional sync, OCR plus human review for invoice capture, automated routing and mobile approvals, and payments processed directly from the Celtics’ bank account. Implementation was quick, and the new centralized workflow delivered 99.5% invoice-data accuracy and cut invoice processing time from 10 days to 2, improving cash visibility, scalability, and overall efficiency.
