Case Study: Sunny Delight Beverages achieves 50% straight‑through AP processing and saves hundreds of hours with SoftCo

Sunny Delight Beverages - Customer Case Study

Sunny Delight Beverages, maker of SunnyD and other beverage brands, was struggling with a spreadsheet- and email-based accounts payable process across six U.S. facilities that handled more than 65,000 vendor invoices a year. Manual matching, coding errors, poor workflow visibility and slow approvals made the process unsustainable, so the company engaged SoftCo and implemented SoftCo Accounts Payable Automation.

SoftCo deployed electronic invoice capture with intelligent character recognition, 3‑way auto‑matching against purchase orders and goods receipt notes, exception workflows, approver email prompts and integration with Microsoft AX. The SoftCo solution delivers over 50% straight‑through processing, saves hundreds of employee hours annually, speeds month‑end close (about a day saved per employee each month), and gives Sunny Delight Beverages far better AP visibility and cash‑flow control.
