Case Study: Euro Car Parts achieves a £250,000 day-one recovery and £9M+ savings to date with Xelix

How Euro Car Parts identified £250,000 of duplicate invoice payments in one day

Euro Car Parts, the UK’s leading car-parts distributor operating 300 branches, struggled with invoice errors and a noisy duplicate-detection process: OCR scanning plus ERP/Coupa only matched exact invoice number, date, and value, producing many false positives and one person working full time to triage them. They engaged Xelix’s AI-driven duplicate-detection and self-learning platform to get smarter, pattern-based checks beyond the three traditional variables.

Xelix was implemented quickly and proved its value in a proof-of-concept (8 of 10 flagged items were true duplicates worth £50,000) and a retrospective sweep that recovered £250,000 on day one. The Xelix solution (checking 300+ variables and continually cleansing master and transactional data) cut daily processing from two hours to ten minutes, delivered ROI on day one, saved about 9 hours a week, helped surface ledger and coding errors, and has contributed to over £9M saved so far.
