Case Study: Hitachi Power Europe GmbH achieves transparent, faster, and more compliant invoice processing with OpenText

Hitachi Power Europe Digitalises Invoice Processing with OpenText

Hitachi Power Europe (HPE), a global power-plant constructor with around 1,200 employees, faced an increasingly complex, paper-heavy invoice process—thousands of suppliers, tens of thousands of multi-page invoices, long approval chains across departments and construction sites, and a six-fold rise in document volume over five years. The company needed transparency, standardization and tighter SAP integration to ensure quality, compliance and timely project accounting.

HPE implemented OpenText solutions (Vendor Invoice Management, Archiving for SAP and Invoice Capture Center) fully integrated with SAP workflows to digitize capture, routing, approval and archiving. The result was instant, auditable access to invoices, standardized end-to-end processing, faster approvals, sustained productivity despite growing document volumes, and improved compliance—allowing HPE to maintain accounting accuracy without expanding staff.
