Case Study: Open Grid Europe GmbH achieves 80% automated invoice matching and faster payments with OpenText Vendor Invoice Management for SAP Solutions

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

Open Grid Europe (OGE), a leading European gas transmission operator with 1,450 employees and a 12,000 km pipeline network, was struggling with paper-based accounts payable: processing some 50,000 invoices a year by hand led to slow approvals, heavy re-keying, poor invoice visibility and missed early‑payment discounts.

OGE deployed OpenText Vendor Invoice Management with Intelligent Capture, tightly integrated with SAP, to automate capture, matching and approval workflows. The solution automated matching for about 80% of invoices (with ~13% processed completely touchless), cut invoice registration to roughly one hour, unlocked early‑payment discounts, reduced costs and boosted productivity and employee satisfaction (about 70% reported significant time savings).
