Burda Digital Systems
Assigns invoices automatically
The challenge
In the past, invoices were processed exclusively in-house. The recording, verification, and further processing of incoming invoices was time-consuming, cost-intensive, and slow. We supported Burda in implementing suitable solutions for automated invoice receipt control.
Our services
- Blueprint and implementation of a solution for invoice receipt via EDI
- Connection of an external scanning service provider and various suppliers to the EDI solution
- Automation of various sub-processes
o Rejection of incorrect invoices
o Identification of the invoice approver and start of the corresponding workflow
o Monitoring and reminders of payment deadlines and cash discount due dates within the approval workflow
o Posting of approved invoices in the background (dark posting)
o Master data comparison - Comprehensive upgrade of IT components for incoming invoice processing
Result: Task solved and costs significantly reduced
Many manual tasks are now a thing of the past at Hubert Burda Media's Shared Service Center. Incoming invoices are now automatically recorded and digitally checked. This has accelerated and optimized processes along the entire purchase-to-pay chain and reduced costs.

Case Study Thales
Transparency throughout the entire purchase-to-pay process
Thales already had a digital solution for the accounts payable department. The greatest potential for efficiency lies in automating the entire purchase-to-pay (P2P) process and significantly increasing the degree of automation of all sub-processes.
Case Study Südzucker

Subsequent changes, optimizations, and temporary corrections impaired operational efficiency.
Case Study DACHSER
Working together for 13 years

Case Study Flughafen München
Simplifies and accelerates processes
The company was already using a solution for automated invoice processing. New legal challenges as well as compliance requirements made the current status obsolete.
Case Study Hilti
Automation successful
Due to Hilti's dynamic growth, the manual effort had become too great. Most documents were still circulated internally by hand. In addition, the complex internal processes were putting too much strain on human resources.
Case Study Clariant.
Adaptations and rollout for over 30 countries
