Case Study: Bulmers achieves full invoice visibility and faster supplier payments with SoftCo's AP Automation

Bulmers - Customer Case Study

Bulmers, a Food & Beverages company, saw its accounts payable invoice volume double to nearly 40,000 supplier invoices annually and was relying on a paper‑based, manual approval and payment process that could not scale across international offices. To gain full visibility over invoices and reduce processing times, Bulmers engaged SoftCo and its AP Automation solution (SoftCo AP).

SoftCo deployed SoftCo AP for centralized automation, with integrated scanning, routing and storage in a SoftCo‑compliant archive and automatic invoice matching against purchase orders. As a result, Bulmers now has full visibility over invoice status for each entity, problem invoices are pinpointed and resolved in days rather than weeks, supplier queries are handled promptly, suppliers are paid faster improving relationships, and significant time and cost savings have been achieved.
