The electronic parts distributor and SAP user
will leverage Esker’s OCR and workflow capabilities to streamline
all phases of AP invoice processing
Esker, a worldwide leader in document process automation
solutions and SAP® software solution and technology partner, today
announced that Allied Electronics, a leading distributor of
industrial automation products and electrical/electromechanical
components, has signed on to expand its use of Esker’s Accounts
Payable automation solution.
Previously, Allied was using Esker for basic “scan and file”
functionality that allowed AP documents to be attached to
transactions in the company’s SAP system. By extending its use of
Esker within AP, Allied will now be equipped with more advanced
capabilities, such as: automated workflow, data capture technology
(e.g., OCR), 3-way match verification, accrual reporting,
auto-approvals and more.
Asheesh Mittal, Director BI and Process Automation at Allied
Electronics, anticipates the move will have significant advantages.
“Our documents were already being routed through Esker, but we
lacked the ability to strip out data with OCR, automatically load
the invoices in SAP or monitor our process with any real
visibility,” he said. “Once these enhancements are fully up and
running, we’ll have that functionality. Not only are we hoping for
improved speed and accuracy in our invoicing process, we foresee
this as a great way to keep growing as a company without bringing
on more staff.”
In addition to AP invoicing, Allied is currently using Esker to
automate a number of other business processes and manual documents
throughout its company, including: outbound customer invoices,
purchase orders, sales orders, quotes and customer sales tax
certificates.
