Case Study: Enva cuts invoice approval times by up to 75% and gains 100% invoice visibility with SoftCo Procure-to-Pay

Enva - Customer Case Study

Enva, a UK & Ireland environmental services company with over 1,500 employees and 34 sites, struggled with manual processing of some 50,000 purchase invoices a year. The lack of automation led to long, error-prone approval cycles, poor supplier invoice visibility, difficulty with timely accruals and weak procurement conformity—challenges Enva engaged SoftCo and its SoftCo Procure-to-Pay solution to address.

SoftCo implemented its Procure-to-Pay platform (hosted in the SoftCo Cloud on AWS) with automated invoice capture, 3‑way matching, exception management and Navision ERP integration, enforcing a “No PO, No Pay” policy. The result: the approval cycle fell from 40 days to 10 days (a 75% reduction), PO and invoice approval times were cut by around 50%, and Enva now has 100% visibility over the invoice lifecycle, improved compliance and faster, more accurate processing.
