Case Study: Canon Italia achieves faster, more efficient purchase approvals with Therefore Corporation

Canon - Customer Case Study

Canon Italia faced a challenge in managing its unstructured and inefficient paper-based process for purchase requests and supplier payments. The system was slow, lacked a common standard across departments, and caused significant delays when approvers were absent. To overcome this, Canon Italia partnered with Therefore Corporation and implemented its Therefore platform to create a unified, web-based solution called the "One Payment Tool."

The solution from Therefore Corporation integrated a digital workflow that automated the approval process, allowing managers to review and sign off on requests electronically via email links. This resulted in a dramatic reduction in processing times, from an average of 30 days down to just 5 days for handling 35,000 files annually. The new system provided full traceability, remote access, and empowered users to check request statuses autonomously, leading to vastly improved speed and efficiency.
