Case Study: P&O Ferrymasters achieves 35% invoice processing cost reduction and improved cash flow with Proactis

P&O Ferrymasters improves cash flow and reduces invoice processing costs by over 35%

P&O Ferrymasters, a European transport and logistics provider operating across 20 locations, faced rising invoice volumes (192,000 p/a), fragmented processes across multiple sites and delays caused by missing Proof of Delivery (POD) documents that constrained cash flow. To centralise and modernise finance operations they engaged Proactis to streamline accounts payable and remove barriers to timely payment.

Proactis implemented a centrally managed electronic invoice-processing solution — including intelligent scanning/data capture for paper, PDF, fax, email and XML documents with seamless integration to Unit4 Financials — and established automated AP controls and best practices. The Proactis solution processes all invoices centrally (192,000 p/a), cut invoice-processing costs by over 35%, improved transparency and control, sped up POD handling and reduced debtor days, delivering measurable cash-flow and efficiency gains.
