Answering emails from suppliers who ask you about the status of their invoices and complain because you pay them late ... it is the day to day.
Up to 15% of the invoices to be processed have exceptions that must be treated differently.
Posting an invoice takes too long, losing traceability and with a high volume of errors.
Lack of control. You are unable to optimize the current invoice management process of your suppliers, losing discount opportunities for prompt payment.

Grifols is one of the leaders in blood products worldwide. Founded in Barcelona in 1909, it works to improve the health and well-being of people around the world.
In 2016 Grifols decided to face a challenge: with companies in more than 30 countries, its accounts payable process is a decentralized and heterogeneous process dominated by paper, which is why it does not have the desired visibility regarding compliance with its corporate procedures.
What this implies regarding traceability, manual errors, and backlog visibility, in addition to the cost of training new employees, leads Grifols to look for a model that allows them to overcome these difficulties and streamline processes. They define a global model for this, and seek a tool to ensure that their invoice management and approval policies are complied with without exception, that makes it easier for their suppliers to send invoices and that their users adopt in a simple way. The selected tool is OpenText VIM for SAP Solutions.
The implementation figures are as follows:
• Centralized receipt of invoices.
• Release of resources, allowing to absorb the growth of the company with the same teams.
• Absolute control of the status of invoices.
• Approve invoices from anywhere.
• Eliminate paper from all invoices received.
