A global foodservice retailer has chosen Accely’s Raapyd ICR solution for its Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) business operations. The business runs thousands of outlets and works with a large number of suppliers. All the outlets deal with a large number of invoices, receipts, and expense documents on a daily basis and managing all of this manually is no longer practical. To address this, the company has chosen to implement Raapyd ICR to reduce manual effort, improve accuracy, and bring more consistency to back-office processes across the region.
At the core of the transformation is Raapyd Intelligent Character Recognition software, It will be implemented to digitize, streamline and automate document-heavy expenses processes. Finance teams in EMEA were relying on fragmented data validation and manual data entry methods. Delays and reconciliation gaps started to appear, along with reporting issues. Intelligent automation will be used to manage different document formats, currencies, and regional requirements in one place.
Eliminating Bottlenecks in Expense and Reconciliation Cycles
Due to complexity of managing expenses in multiple countries, month-end closings were slow and there was limited visibility on spending patterns. Accely’s Raapyd Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) software will extract data from invoices and receipts for the organization. This allowed for faster matching, validating, and reconciling. The organization had to shift its finance teams from transactional processing towards exception handling and value added analysis.
Driving Control, Accuracy, and Scalability
The automated solution will produce measurable results, such as reduced processing times, improved data accuracy and a stronger audit readiness throughout EMEA operations. Common validation and reconciliation rules will be set up to keep processes consistent across regions, while still meeting local regulatory needs. Finance teams will be able to view expense data more frequently instead of waiting for periodic reports. This will help with cost tracking and speed up everyday decisions. The setup is also designed to handle higher volumes as the business grows. It can accommodate new locations, higher transaction volumes, and more staff without proportional headcount increases.
By partnering with Accely as a trusted digital transformation company, the global foodservice retailer aligned automation with long-term operational goals. Backed by Accely’s strategy and consulting services, the organization will transform expense management from a manual burden into a streamlined, intelligent process—positioning finance as a strategic enabler across its EMEA footprint.
