MADISON, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Esker, a worldwide leader in document process automation solutions and SAP® software solution and technology partner, announced today it has reached an agreement with Multiradio S.A., an Argentina-based telecommunications company. Multiradio has selected Esker’s cloud-based Accounts Payable solution to integrate with its existing SAP application in an effort to automate its vendor invoicing process.
Multiradio handles approximately 1,400 vendor invoices each month, with the average document being eight pages. Using manual processing methods, this placed a burden on Multiradio’s accounts payable (AP) department. The biggest problem was the lack of visibility once an invoice was received and the process started. Slowdowns in the processing cycle were common with invoices coming from multiple departments and control and oversight limited, often leading to late payments as well as an influx of calls from vendors.
Esker’s Accounts Payable solution will be leveraged as an on-demand automation service to integrate with Multiradio’s SAP system, effectively streamlining every phase of vendor invoice processing. Because invoices are automatically entered into an electronic workflow in SAP, visibility is ensured throughout, employees previously designated to approval workflow are freed up to complete other tasks, and the use and storage costs of paper is dramatically reduced.
“When we realized our AP process was getting too complex, the goal was to consolidate the process using a cloud solution — Esker had everything we were looking for in terms of SAP integration and workflow,” said Monica Melito, CFO at Multiradio. “We considered going the BPO route but, through my involvement with ASUG, I knew of Esker’s experience with cloud computing. We couldn’t have asked for a better solution for our first on-demand project.”
