Welch’s modernized its AP operation with Vision360 Enterprise, achieving touchless invoice processing, reducing costs, and improving financial visibility across its organization.
Customer Overview
Company: Welch’ Foods (Welch's)
Industry: Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) / Food & Beverage
Organization Type: Multi-entity enterprise
ERP Environment: Enterprise Oracle ERP system
Invoice Volume: High-volume AP environment
Welch’s operates a complex finance operation supporting multiple business units, vendors, and operational locations. The Accounts Payable team processes a large volume of invoices across diverse channels while maintaining strict controls, accuracy, and compliance requirements.
The Challenge
Prior to implementing Vision360 Enterprise, Welch’s AP operation faced several growing challenges:
- Invoices arriving through multiple channels (email, paper, PDF, vendor portals)
- Manual data entry creating delays and errors
- Slow approval cycles due to email-based workflows
- Limited visibility into invoice status and liabilities
- Difficulty scaling AP operations without increasing headcount
- Increased risk of duplicate payments and compliance gaps
As invoice volumes grew, these manual processes created operational risk, inefficiencies, and limited the finance team’s ability to focus on strategic work.
The Solution
Vision360 Enterprise was deployed to automate the full AP lifecycle:
- Centralized invoice intake created a single source of truth for all invoices
- AI-driven data capture eliminated manual data entry
- Automated matching and validation reduced exceptions and errors
- Configurable approval workflows accelerated processing times
- Real-time dashboards delivered visibility into invoice status, liabilities, and bottlenecks
- Digital audit trails ensured compliance and control
The system was implemented with minimal disruption to existing finance operations.
