Case Study: Book Depot cuts accounts payable processing time by 73% with Quadient AP by Beanworks

Book Depot Saves 73% of Time in Accounts Payable with Beanworks AP Automation

Book Depot, a major discount book distributor, was struggling with manual accounts payable: one AP clerk handled about 600 invoices monthly, spending roughly 30 hours per week (95% of his time) on data entry and chasing approvals across 12 managers. To modernize their process they selected Quadient AP by Beanworks’ accounts payable automation (Beanworks).

Quadient AP by Beanworks implemented cloud-based AP automation with auto-capture, web/mobile approvals and integration with Sage 300, streamlining invoice entry and approval workflows. As a result, Book Depot reduced AP processing from about 30 hours to 6 hours per week (roughly an 80% reduction), eliminated most manual data entry, improved approval tracking, and freed the clerk to focus on higher-value projects.
