Case Study: Old World Industries, LLC achieves faster invoice processing and timely vendor payments with OpenText

Old World Industries powers its resilient business engine with OpenText

Old World Industries, a global automotive and chemical manufacturer best known for its PEAK motor oil and antifreeze brands, faced slow, paper‑centric accounts payable operations that relied on printing, hand‑routing and email queues. The manual processes caused delays, risked duplicate payments, and made it difficult to integrate cleanly with SAP S/4HANA—challenges that became urgent as the company shifted to remote work during the COVID‑19 pandemic.

OWI partnered with OpenText Professional Services to deploy OpenText Vendor Invoice Management, Intelligent Capture and Archiving and Document Access for SAP, automating invoice capture, routing and archiving. The solution reduced manual data entry through AI‑driven capture, let AP staff focus on validation and exceptions, eliminated duplicate payments, enabled timely vendor payments while remote, and boosted throughput from roughly 75 to over 100 invoices per AP professional in the same time period.
