Case Study: s.Oliver Bernd Freier GmbH & Co. KG achieves 70% faster invoice processing and ROI by year two with OpenText Vendor Invoice Management

Automated Invoice Management Helps s.Oliver with International Expansion

s.Oliver is a major European fashion and lifestyle company with about 7,500 employees, more than 3,000 stores and a global supply chain handling transactions with roughly 8,000 suppliers. Rapid international growth created capacity bottlenecks in inbound invoice processing: the legacy solution couldn’t handle multiple currencies or tighter SAP integration, and finance teams were spending hours each day scanning and processing multi‑page invoices.

s.Oliver implemented OpenText Vendor Invoice Management for SAP Solutions and Invoice Capture Center to automate capture and integrate directly with SAP. The deployment cut invoice data capture time by about 70% (scanning time dropped from ~2 hours to ~35 minutes), was completed two months early, delivered high user acceptance, is expected to break even by year two, and provides a scalable platform for faster rollouts, SRM integration and centralized archiving.
