Case Study: Bird & Bird achieves global invoice processing efficiency with Onventis Invoice Processing

Law firm Bird & Bird rolls-out Onventis Invoice Processing to 32 offices worldwide

Bird & Bird, a global law firm with 32 international offices, faced a significant challenge in manually processing over 80,000 invoices annually. This decentralized and labor-intensive process was a major burden on their accounts payable departments and was further complicated by pandemic-related communication disruptions. They sought a unified solution from vendor Onventis to automate invoice processing, reduce manual work, simplify approvals, and allow for local flexibility.

By implementing Onventis Invoice Processing, Bird & Bird successfully rolled out a single, scalable global process. The Onventis solution offered a dynamic approval workflow, a proven integration with their Aderant software, and the flexibility to accommodate local office requirements. This significantly reduced manual labor, improved efficiency, and minimized errors, allowing AP staff to focus on higher-value tasks. The implementation was praised for its flexibility and industry-specific knowledge, providing an effective and pragmatic solution for all 32 offices worldwide.
