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

Evonik extends its successful e-invoicing switch to other markets

Evonik, a leading global specialty chemicals company based in Germany, faced inefficiencies and compliance risks with its paper-based invoice processing. Their archaic system, which relied on manual preparation and OCR scanning, was slow and prone to errors. To improve this, they partnered with Unifiedpost Group to implement a global e-invoicing solution.

Unifiedpost Group provided a tailored e-invoicing switch, first connecting Evonik's largest suppliers and successfully going live by the end of 2009. The solution eliminated manual steps, media breaks, and OCR errors, ensuring compliant and direct integration into Evonik's SAP workflow. Due to its success, Evonik expanded the solution for outgoing invoices in Germany and other countries like Belgium and Mexico with Unifiedpost Group's help, paving the way for further global expansion.
