Case Study: Beiersdorf achieves global e-invoicing efficiency with Unifiedpost Group

Electronic invoicing as a global digitalisation project

Beiersdorf, a German consumer goods company with global brands like Nivea, faced challenges processing a high volume of invoices arriving in various formats and languages from over 100 countries. To digitalize this inefficient process, they partnered with Unifiedpost Group for the implementation of a global electronic invoicing (e-invoicing) solution.

Unifiedpost Group provided a flexible system to convert all incoming invoices into a standardized electronic format for processing in Beiersdorf's SAP system. This solution streamlined operations, significantly reduced the workload and error rate, and increased automated processing. A measurable result was reducing the proportion of invoices posted automatically without human touch to 15% within a year. Beiersdorf continues to expand the e-invoicing system to more countries with Unifiedpost Group's support.
