Case Study: Trudy’s achieves 72% AP processing time reduction and faster Compeat updates with xtraCHEF

Trudy’s Adds AP Automation to Compeat

Trudy’s, an Austin original known for its Tex‑Mex and margaritas, struggled with time‑consuming accounts payable and inventory workflows: stores stored boxes of invoices for a courier to pick up, and three central office employees manually uploaded and matched each invoice and line‑item into Compeat. Prior to implementing AP Automation to Compeat from xtraCHEF, that manual process consumed more than 18 hours per week and delayed bill pay and reporting.

xtraCHEF’s AP Automation to Compeat digitized invoices via in‑store iPads, stores documents in the cloud, accurately extracts line‑item food‑cost data for next‑day import into Compeat, and provides fast searchable document access. As a result, Trudy’s reduced central office AP and inventory work to about 5 hours per week with only two staff, accelerated data availability for reporting and bill pay, and gained reliable, standardized reporting that enabled a GM bonus program.
