Business challenges

Our client’s manual invoicing process was time-consuming, involved many manual steps and many employees. For example, a single bottleneck during the extraction, validation, or management of appeals and exceptions for a batch of claims could often halt core business functions and cause issues in the accuracy of reconciling receivables, generating downstream impact in cash flow forecasting.

2

Optimize the customer invoice submission process to improve cash flow.

3

How Softtek comes into play

With over 20 years of automation experience and effective change management practices, Softtek became our client’s BPO partner and was given complete ownership of all invoicing processes by leveraging our innovative nearshore model. With this shift, Softtek helped our client scale, meet the demand of claims fluctuations, and stabilize its back-office operations, bringing new speed and accuracy to their accounts receivable function.

This goal was accomplished by identifying workflow candidates ripe for optimization and then implementing robotic process automation (RPA) by creating Bots synergized with SharePoint workflows. With the extraction, validation, end-process notification, and reporting of exceptions covered by Softtek’s bots, our client was able to quickly move from an environment with a growing invoice backlog to a reliable and scalable system able to fast track payments with same-day invoicing at incredible and reliable speed.
