80% Faster AP Processing for a Global Air Medical Transport Provider
Industry: Transportation
Service: AP Automation + Sage Intacct Integration
Client Background
A global mid-sized provider of air medical transportation services, the client plays a critical role in delivering emergency healthcare through air-based mobility solutions. With operations that depend on timely vendor support, the finance team needed better visibility and control over accounts payable.
Challenges
- Time-Intensive Invoice Processing – Manual data entry for each invoice consumed 15–20 minutes, creating a significant backlog and inefficiencies.
- Delayed Approvals and Payment Risks – Routing invoices manually resulted in late approvals, increasing the risk of delayed payments and strained vendor relationships.
- Slow Month-End Reconciliation – The finance team lacked real-time visibility, pushing month-end close timelines by almost three weeks and disrupting cash flow planning.
How Did APS Help?
- AI-Driven Invoice Automation – APS team implemented Bill Pay with AI-powered invoice capture, extracting key details and auto-categorizing them for faster processing.
- Automated Approval Routing – Invoices were instantly routed to the appropriate stakeholders, eliminating follow-ups and approval delays.
