Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

To eliminate paper and PDF invoices across 70+ operating companies, the brewer implemented a unified e-invoicing network. By mandating suppliers to submit via a digital portal or EDI connection, they structured the data at the source, bypassing the need for error-prone OCR and enabling high rates of automated 3-way matching.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"Validation of the 'Network' approach over the 'Scanning' approach. True touchless processing is rarely achieved with OCR alone due to read errors. Forcing digital submission (XML/EDI) enables 100% data accuracy and enables global VAT compliance automation."

warning The Challenge

Operating in 70+ countries meant dealing with diverse VAT regulations and invoice formats (paper, fax, PDF). The decentralized nature of the business led to fragmented AP processes, lost invoices, and late payment penalties.

psychology The Solution

Consolidated AP onto Basware. The solution provides a supplier portal for smaller vendors to flip POs into invoices and EDI integration for large vendors. It enforces local tax compliance rules (e.g., Brazil Nota Fiscal) before the invoice enters the brewer's ERP.
