Objective

This leading auto component manufacturer, operating ~20 plants across states and 4 legal entities, was facing significant challenges in its AP process. With 60k invoices booked per month by a 30+ member AP team, the scale of operations was large and complex. The company was also expecting rapid growth following an investment from a private equity firm, making it critical to streamline vendor payment processes. However, the business faced delays in vendor payments that risked disruption, high turnaround time in invoice booking with limited visibility on process status, compliance gaps especially with MSME invoices, and heavy dependence on manpower and SAP licenses for day-to-day invoice booking activities.

Solution Provided

CashFlo deployed a robust PO-to-Pay platform that was seamlessly integrated with the client’s SAP ERP within just 6 weeks. Vendors were able to upload invoices through the portal or email, and invoices were automatically validated using OCR with PO and GRN matching, ensuring faster and compliant booking. Payments were released directly from the portal without the need for manual file creation, while the vendor master was centrally maintained in CashFlo with complete KYC checks including GSTIN, PAN and penny-drop validation. The system also automated reconciliation of invoices and payments, with vouchers directly posted into SAP. Detailed payment advices were automatically shared with vendors after every transaction. This transformation eliminated manual interventions, reduced dependence on SAP licenses, and created end-to-end compliance and transparency across the AP cycle.

CashFlo’s solution has been a game changer for us. What earlier took hours of manual follow-ups, reconciliations, and back-and-forth across teams is now handled seamlessly through automation. The SAP integration was smoother and faster than expected—going live in just 6 weeks. Our vendor payments are now accurate, timely, and fully compliant, which has significantly improved supplier trust. The AP team is relieved of repetitive work and can finally focus on value-added tasks. Overall, this has brought us efficiency, transparency, and scalability without needing heavy ERP customisations."
