"Incorporating this new technology allowed us to transform an operational process into 100% digital, and at the same time allowed us to introduce ABBYY solutions to other areas of the company and to other countries in the Region (such as the Shared Services Center located in Colombia)."
Ariel Varela, Accounting & Digital Finance Manager - Renault Argentina

Renault Argentina is a subsidiary of the French car manufacturer Renault. As one of the oldest Renault operations in the world, the company has embraced digital transformation and turned to ABBYY’s intelligent automation platform to automate invoice processing. The process is now 100% digital, which reduces the risk of human error and gives the team more time to focus on higher-value activities.

Solution

ABBYY’s platform automates the entire invoicing process. Documents are processed and migrated into SAP in approximately one minute.

100% digital transformation achieved. The results influenced the decision to implement the technology across Renault’s business units in South America.
