Case study: A FMCG group
Our Client
A global FMCG company with significant footprint across Africa.
The Issue
- Large volumes of documentation across the group.
- Inefficient invoice management processes resulting in errors and delayed payments.
- Inefficient supplier onboarding processes.
- Lack of oversight across the group.
- Non-standard processes across the multiple divisions and subsidiaries.
- Lost and reworked documents result in additional costs.
Our solution
We transformed the clients’ supplier invoice management processes by:
- Automating some of their businesses processes using our content management platform – Metrofile Datastor.
- Created a supplier database.
- Created an environment where invoices can be submitted and processed digitally.
- Integrated to the clients’ back-office ERP system.
Using the Metrofile Datastor advanced document routing capabilities, we:
- Automated the supplier onboarding processes.
- Automated the invoice management processes.
The impact
Digital content management streamlines the buying process from start to finish, enabling our client to maximise their supplier rebates.
We helped improve communication between stores and Head Office by creating a scanning module that allowed staff to scan trade documents at store level with the ability to instantly validate and report any missing documents. This enabled Head Office to easily access the correct documentation in real time.
How we can apply this solution to other clients
The main component of this solution is the centralised and digitised Content Management System.
By enabling clients to easily access documents prior to audits, and respond timeously to data requests, we can help ensure regulatory compliance, increase accountability, improved supplier satisfaction and reduced inefficiencies across businesses.
