Case Study: Open Grid Europe achieves 80% invoice automation with OpenText

Gas transportation company saves time and money with OpenText™ Vendor Invoice Management for SAP® Solutions

Open Grid Europe (OGE) was handling invoice processing manually in SAP ERP, with AP staff entering every invoice by hand. The company needed a faster, more transparent way to manage around 50,000 invoices a year and reduce the time spent on routine processing; it used OpenText Vendor Invoice Management to address these challenges.

OpenText implemented automated invoice capture, matching, validation, booking, and approval, using SAP purchase order data to streamline routing and workflow. As a result, OGE automated about 80% of invoices and fully processed around 13% without manual intervention, cut invoice handling time to about one hour, and improved productivity and employee satisfaction while helping the company capture early payment discounts.
