Longo’s Saves with Modernized Accounts Payable Automation Platform
—
Longo’s, a leading family-owned grocery chain, successfully streamlined its financial operations by replacing a complex, error-prone manual process with an AI-driven automation platform.
The Challenge: Managing Growth without Increasing Overhead
As Longo’s expanded to 36 locations, their manual invoice processing became increasingly arduous. The team faced significant operational hurdles:
High Volume: Handling an average of 12,000 invoices per month, peaking at 700 in a single day.
Manual Data Entry: Staff had to manually enter supplier invoices and receiving documents into their ERP system.
Inefficient Legacy Systems: Previous attempts to use a mix of different technologies were complicated, error-prone, and slow.
Staffing Constraints: Hiring additional staff to manage the workload would have increased operational expenses without solving the underlying process issues.
"It was a challenge managing all the licenses and making sure all the technologies we were putting together didn't lead to mistakes happening."
— Alicia Samuel, Vice-President of Information Technology
The Solution: PF 360 Capture
Single Unified Platform: Replaced a fragmented mix of products with one integrated system, eliminating the need for expensive individual licenses and IT infrastructure.
AI-Driven Extraction: Leverages artificial intelligence to scan, verify, and release invoices for payment without requiring intensive system "training" or manual template work.
Seamless ERP Integration: Process Fusion collaborated with Longo’s technical teams to ensure 100% accurate data flow during a major ERP upgrade
The Results: Quantifiable Success
The transition to PF 360 Capture delivered immediate ROI and operational efficiency.
