Case Study: Meopta (high-tech optics manufacturer) achieves 50% faster invoice processing and 30% AP headcount avoidance with Tungsten Automation

Meopta Begins its Digital Transformation with Accounts Payable Automation from Kofax

Meopta, a global high‑tech optics manufacturer headquartered in the Czech Republic, was struggling with a paper‑based accounts payable process as invoice volumes grew to more than 40,000 per year. Manual data entry and routed paper approvals caused long lead times (up to two weeks), poor visibility, and the prospect of a roughly 30% increase in AP headcount to handle future growth.

Working with INFOMATIC, Meopta deployed Tungsten TotalAgility using the Automatica DX framework to capture invoices via OCR, automate approval workflows, and enable future RPA use cases. The digital AP process halved invoice approval times, gave full visibility of workflow status, let the existing team process 40,000+ invoices with capacity to spare, and avoided the projected 30% rise in AP costs.
