Case Study: Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) achieves 30% higher on-time payments and slashes invoice processing by 22 days with Tradeshift

Agriculture Giant Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) Boosts Productivity and Payment Metrics Across the Board

Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM), a global agricultural processor with more than 33,000 employees and roughly $90B in sales, centralized accounts payable into shared services and quickly became overwhelmed by paper invoices, manual data entry and high exception volumes—950,000 invoices keyed annually, dozens of temporary staff, thousands of duplicate invoices, calls and emails—leading to slow processing, lost invoices and poor supplier visibility.

ADM implemented Tradeshift’s e-invoicing platform to standardize global procure-to-pay, give suppliers multiple digital submission options and enable real-time invoice visibility and collaboration. In under a year ADM improved early-payment discount capture by 24%, lifted on-time payments by 30%, cut invoice processing time by about 22 days, eliminated manual entry for onboarded suppliers and reduced temporary headcount while speeding error resolution.
