Nordell, a Worthing plastic moulding firm with over 80 staff, invested £34,000 in AI invoice processing and expects it to save over 60 hours of admin a month.
Nordell added Demi AP, which sits alongside its existing DELMIAWorks ERP system. It reads supplier invoices, checks them against purchase orders and company records, flags discrepancies for review and tracks each invoice from receipt to payment. The £34,000 cost was part-funded by a £17,000 Made Smarter South East grant, after a digital workshop and staff digital champion training.
Made Smarter reports the company expects more than 60 hours a month of manual admin to be saved, with better invoice accuracy, fewer delays and clearer visibility of spend and cashflow.
These benefits are forecasts, not measured results. The source is a program case study with an interest in showing success. The cost was heavily helped by a grant that may not be available to you. Flagged discrepancies still need a person to review them.
