Milaha, one of the largest and most diversified maritime and logistics companies in the Middle East, focuses on providing integrated transport and supply chain solutions. The company receives hundreds of invoices each day—in both paper and digital format. Milaha found the right solution with ABBYY and Blue Prism to streamline Milaha’s invoice processing through intelligent process automation.
Challenge
- Duplication of manual data entries into various subsystems resulted in errors and lengthy invoice processing times.
- The mailroom receives hundreds of invoices each day. Two staff members manually sorted the invoices and routed them to five additional staff members in the appropriate departments.
- The departments would then manually enter and reconcile the invoices in the satellite subsystems.
- Once reconciled, the invoices were again keyed into the ERP system for payment processing.
- Processes need to be understood and automated to meet growing market demands.
