Case Study: Purple achieves 63% faster invoice processing and 100% invoice documentation with Stampli

Purple speeds invoice processing time by 63% with stampli

Purple, a comfort products company known for mattresses and pillows, struggled with a manual accounts payable process that relied on an A/P inbox and Outlook searches to manage invoices from roughly 1,350 vendors. The team faced long weekly pay runs, a growing invoice backlog, poor documentation in Oracle NetSuite, and difficulty meeting audit and SOX requirements, so they sought an A/P automation platform and tested Stampli to centralize the invoice lifecycle and approvals.

Stampli implemented a cloud-based A/P automation solution for Purple—leveraging AI/OCR for data entry, automated routing (including the “Billy the Bot” learning feature), and easier auditor access via invoice URLs. As a result, Purple reduced time to process invoices from eight days to three (a 63% improvement), cut backlog by at least 50%, achieved 100% invoice documentation (up from 25%), regained about three FTE days per week, eliminated duplicate payments, lowered OPEX, and onboarded 90+ users quickly.
