Case Study: Siemens Healthineers automates e-invoicing compliance with PROCESIO

Integrate SAP invoice details with e-Invoicing national platform – without accessing the SAP database

Siemens Healthineers, a client in the healthcare industry, faced a significant regulatory challenge. Due to a lack of access to its SAP invoicing system, the company was unable to automatically submit invoices to the national e-Invoicing platform as required by an EU directive. This created an urgent cash-flow risk, as their partners were not obligated to pay for non-compliant invoices. The lengthy internal process to gain SAP access made the situation critical.

PROCESIO provided an innovative solution that bypassed the need for SAP integration entirely. Instead, their platform intercepted emails containing PDF invoices, used a PDF Extract Text action to automatically harvest the required data, and then synchronized that information directly with the e-Invoicing national system. This approach, implemented by PROCESIO in just three weeks, fully automated the process, ensured compliance, and immediately eliminated the customer's cash-flow problems.
