Case Study: solarisBank achieves seamless automated AP processing with OpenText

Solarisbank brings innovative financial services to new markets while keeping back-office headcount flat

solarisBank needed a way to digitize accounts payable after starting to scan paper invoices during the pandemic, but it lacked OCR capabilities to bring invoice data into SAP. Working with OpenText and its SAP integration partner XPACT, the bank looked for a robust, cloud-based solution with OCR, digital workflows, and long-term archiving to support end-to-end invoice processing.

OpenText implemented automated AP workflows integrated with SAP S/4HANA, enabling touchless data capture from emailed and scanned invoices directly into the approval process. The results were significant: solarisBank now processes around 70% of inbound invoices with little manual effort, cut payment run preparation from eight hours to 1.5 hours, reduced month-end closing by two days, and expects to handle up to 800 invoices per month while keeping AP headcount flat.
