Case Study: Sauels reduces invoice processing time with Top Image Systems eFLOW AP

Sauels AG Reduces Invoice Processing Time and Increases Transparency with Eflow AP

Sauels AG, a family-owned German food producer, faced challenges with its manual, paper-based invoice processing system. Due to the company's decentralized operations, invoices were frequently routed between different locations, leading to long turnaround times, lost documents, and a lack of transparency. To support its growth, Sauels sought an automated solution from Top Image Systems to eliminate paper, improve visibility, and handle increasing invoice volumes without adding staff.

Top Image Systems implemented its eFLOW AP solution, which provided a highly flexible workflow tailored to Sauels' needs, including complex approval rules and seamless SAP integration. The results included a significant reduction in processing time and, more importantly, greatly improved transparency, allowing all departments immediate digital access to invoices. The solution successfully managed a 20% increase in invoice volume without additional hires, and 15% of suppliers now submit invoices directly through the eFLOW ePortal.
