Client Overview: A fast-growing retail chain with 300+ stores across North America. Their rapid expansion led to uncontrolled "maverick" spending at the store level, resulting in budget overruns, non-compliant purchases, and a fragmented supplier base with no negotiating power.

Frequently Asked Questions
Implementation timelines vary based on complexity, but a typical rollout for a core module like AI-powered Invoice Processing can be completed in as little as 8-12 weeks. A full-suite P2P transformation is a phased approach, typically spanning 6-9 months. We prioritize a rapid time-to-value, focusing on the highest impact areas first.
Not at all. In fact, it's better if you don't. Our process is to analyze and map your current state, then co-design an optimized future-state process *before* we configure the technology. We are process transformation experts, not just software installers. We help you fix the process *as part* of the automation journey.
We have extensive experience with all major ERPs. Our integration approach uses a combination of pre-built connectors for standard data objects (like vendors, POs, and GL codes) and a robust API framework for custom requirements. This ensures a seamless, bi-directional flow of information, maintaining your ERP as the single source of financial truth.
While results vary, our clients typically see a full return on investment within 9-18 months. Key ROI drivers include an 80%+ reduction in invoice processing costs, a 5-15% reduction in maverick spend, millions captured in early payment discounts, and significant "soft" savings from improved compliance and freed-up employee time.
This is critical to success. Our engagement model includes a dedicated change management stream.
