National manufacturer: automated invoice and reporting hub
75% of invoices processed automatically
Email intake, OCR extraction, PO matching, auto-approval under preset rules, and a live spend dashboard.
National manufacturer processing thousands of supplier invoices monthly through shared inboxes.
Where they started.
Thousands of supplier invoices each month arrived into shared inboxes.
Approvals stalled for days and duplicate invoices slipped through the cracks.
Regional managers had minimal transparency into what was being spent where.
The accounts team carried most of the load as data entry.
What Ordron shipped.
Ordron built an automated invoice hub that handled intake, extraction, matching, approval and reporting end-to-end.
- Email ingestion captured every supplier invoice on arrival.
- OCR extracted the line-level data required to match it to a PO.
- An intelligent match layer connected invoices to existing POs and auto-approved anything within preset rules.
- Exceptions were routed to a named owner with an SLA, not to a shared inbox.
- A live dashboard surfaced spend by vendor and cost centre.
