Challenge

Scattered Data Across Systems
Data was dispersed across Blackline, SAP, Salesforce, internal tools, and Excel, causing inconsistencies and duplication and limiting opportunities for real-time data processing.
Manual Invoice Processing
Invoices and follow-ups were generated manually, resulting in delays, human errors, and the absence of an efficient invoice automation framework, highlighting a broader need for finance process automation.
