Case Study: Thanet District Council achieves 12 hours a week in staff time savings on invoice processing with V1 Limited's DbCapture

Thanet district council saves 12 hours a week with v1

Thanet District Council needed to speed up processing for around 17,500 purchase invoices a year after a part‑time staff departure left the finance team stretched. To reduce manual data entry and prevent disruption, the Council selected V1 Limited’s DbCapture intelligent data capture solution, chosen for its ability to integrate with the Council’s Advanced Business Solutions financial management system.

V1 Limited implemented DbCapture with advanced OCR to automatically capture, verify and flag invoice data before uploading it into Advanced’s accounts payable module. The solution cut invoice processing time by the equivalent of 12 hours of staff time per week, significantly reducing manual entry and improving P2P efficiency, with the Council expecting further time savings going forward.
