Case Study: Siemens Finance Shared Services achieves automated processing of 800,000+ invoices and greater efficiency with OpusCapita

Opuscapita - A Trusted Business Partner In The Siemens World

Siemens Finance Shared Services, the intra-company shared-services provider for Siemens AG, needed to automate rapid, compliant processing of incoming supplier documents across 14 European countries — digitalizing paper invoices, rejecting invalid documents, and loading data EDI-compliantly into SAP-based ERP systems. To meet this scale (Siemens FSS handles roughly 8 million incoming invoices globally), Siemens engaged OpusCapita to organize and operate invoice processing for northwestern and southwestern Europe.

OpusCapita implemented a standardized, automated service using scanning, OCR, legal checks and EDI-to-SAP delivery (with PDF/SFTP fallbacks), supporting shared-service centers in the UK, India, Czech Republic and Portugal. The OpusCapita solution processed more than 800,000 Siemens invoices in 2014 across 14 countries, delivering faster, more transparent end-to-end workflows, greater cost-effectiveness and freeing local units from inbound document handling.
