From purchase to payment

Esker, a provider of solutions for automated document processes, is now working with Jardiland. The French company specializes in garden and pet supplies and is now automating its payment cycles with an Esker solution.

Over 24,000 supplier invoices and just as many purchase requisitions are processed automatically every year. Jardiland has been automating the dispatch of its customer invoices with an Esker solution since 2007. The decision was made to extend the automation to the accounts payable and purchasing processes.

Every month, 2,000 supplier invoices for 80 stores and services as well as purchase requisitions are processed there. The solution was ready for use in the first phase. It covered non-order-related processes for automating supplier invoices as well as scanning, processing, checking, payment via SAP and data feedback into the Esker system.

The second phase involves the processing of supplier invoices with associated orders. This includes purchase requisitions, checking, order creation in the Esker solution and integration in SAP, notification of incoming orders in Esker and data feedback in SAP, as well as the automatic comparison of orders and invoices for processing and payment.
