Case Study: Kingfisher cuts SAP invoice indexing time by 90% with Rossum AP automation

Kingfisher cuts SAP invoice indexing time by 90% with Rossum

Kingfisher, an international home improvement retail leader, faced a challenge in its centralized accounts payable operations. Manual data entry into SAP was consuming significant time, with each invoice taking approximately five minutes to index. This prevented their team from scaling to handle growing invoice volumes and focused resources on lower-value work. To address this, they implemented an end-to-end AP automation solution from Rossum.

The Rossum solution automated the extraction and validation of data from invoices received via email. This data was then integrated into SAP via RPA bots. The results were significant: Kingfisher cut invoice indexing time by 90%, from 5 minutes to just 25 seconds. With Rossum, 60% of invoices became touchless before reaching SAP, and 79% of fields were read automatically. This efficiency gain allowed them to reallocate 14 full-time employees to higher-value tasks.
