Case Study: Adams Beverages streamlines invoice approvals with Quadient Beanworks

Adams Beverages streamlines 2,000 monthly invoices with Quadient

Adams Beverages, a family-owned beverage distributor, faced significant challenges in managing its accounts payable process after an acquisition increased its monthly invoice volume to nearly 2,000. Their manual, paper-based system lacked visibility and control, causing delays in multi-tiered approvals and making it difficult to track documentation. They sought an AP automation solution from vendor Quadient to streamline their workflow and gain better oversight.

Quadient implemented its Beanworks AP automation software, which integrated with the company's Sage 100 system. The solution provided a centralized platform for electronic invoice processing, remote approvals via a mobile app, and real-time tracking. This eliminated paper, reduced manual data entry, and sped up the approval cycle dramatically. The results were particularly impactful during COVID-19, as the already automated finance department continued operations seamlessly with staff working remotely, allowing them to focus on more valuable initiatives.
