Case Study: EHS Business Solutions cuts invoice time by 75% with Ottimate

How EHS Cut Invoice Time by 75% and Multiplied Client Capacity

EHS Business Solutions, a Chicago-based bookkeeping and advisory firm serving restaurants and hospitality companies, was spending too much time and money on manual accounts payable work. Before using Ottimate, employees physically picked up paper invoices from client restaurants, took them home to scan and key in by hand, and then returned them, creating delays and a heavy processing burden.

EHS implemented Ottimate’s AP automation platform for restaurant invoice processing and approvals. Ottimate automated coding, routing, approvals, ERP posting, and statement reconciliation, cutting invoice handling time to 5–10 hours per restaurant from 40 hours previously and enabling each employee to manage five to 10 clients instead of just one. EHS also reported faster vendor payments, better accuracy, and strong support from Ottimate, helping the firm scale its business significantly.
