INTSIG Helps NEV Manufacturer Go International

TextPro solution was successfully launched in the customer’s international Financial Shared Service Center

This customer is expanding its business in seven European countries and has transactions with over 3,000 suppliers worldwide. Paper invoices with various formats and layouts have been received from the suppliers, which leads to challenges in invoice management.

Pain points of the customer:

• Invoice creation: Business personnel also need to manually create invoices in the system, which is heavy in workload and prone to errors. This process consumes much working time of business personnel, which has a negative impact on work efficiency.
• Invoice review: The invoices from 7 European countries are all reviewed by 3 people in the FSSC, invoice identification heavily relies on personal experience, and it is difficult for them to identify invoices in 7 European languages, which requires high financial talents and is difficult to recruit.
• Paper invoices are easy to be lost and damaged, which makes invoice management more difficult.
