Case Study: Helse Vest RHF achieves 88% invoice process cost savings with Tradeshift

Helse Vest Regional Health Authority Enacts Invoice Process Savings of 88%

Helse Vest Regional Health Authority, which provides healthcare to 1.1 million people across western Norway through more than 50 hospitals and 26,000 staff, faced inefficient procure-to-pay processes, low contract compliance and limited spend visibility. Manual invoicing and slow supplier processes risked timely delivery of critical medical supplies and drove up costs.

By adopting IBX Business Network (now Tradeshift) as its PEPPOL-certified eProcurement and e‑invoicing platform—providing automated e‑invoicing, supplier activation, content management, PO matching and preferred‑supplier channeling—Helse Vest drove e‑invoices up over 500% (79% in Sept 2016), increased no‑touch orders from 65% to 75%, grew order lines by 50%, cut average invoice cost from NOK 50 to NOK 6, and realized 88% savings in process costs.
