Case Study: Deutsche Bahn automates invoice processing with Serrala FS² Accounts Payable

Deutsche Bahn automates 3 million invoices a year with Serrala

Deutsche Bahn, a major German transportation and logistics company, faced significant challenges in processing its high volume of approximately 3 million invoices annually. The manual effort required was immense, leading to a lack of company-wide visibility, delayed payments, and strained supplier relationships. To address this, Deutsche Bahn partnered with vendor Serrala to find an automated solution.

By implementing Serrala's FS² Accounts Payable solution, which integrated directly into their SAP systems, Deutsche Bahn established a uniform, end-to-end process. The results were substantial: the time needed to clarify invoices dropped significantly, more cash discounts were captured, and costs per invoice were greatly reduced. The Serrala solution now reliably automates the processing of those 3 million invoices, fostering better cross-department cooperation and improving overall financial operations.
