  • Invoice processing speed increased by 3x as a result of automating invoice capturing process
  • Invoices can now be approved via email/mobile

Company Overview

Our Client is a leading diversified media conglomerate - one of the pioneers of the early Internet era in the 1990s. Prior to ITC, the client had depended on manual, paper-based efforts to manage different payment methods, reconciliation process, and supplier data, due to which their processing was becoming increasingly expensive, burdensome, lengthy, and error-prone. For this reason, the client approached IT Convergence to obtain a custom-tailored technology solution with capture, recognition, imaging and workflow capabilities, that would automate and improve their Accounts Payable process.
