Unifying 5 ERPs with Ease of Integration: Heineken and Basware
Being a global business comes with a lot of highs and a lot of lows. One of those lows is managing to bring together incongruent ERP systems into a singular platform for easier processing and better overall data. Learn more about how Heineken Nederland used Basware’s easy integration capabilities to bring together 5 ERPs.
Global organisation, global complexities
Being a global company usually means you’ve seen your fair share of mergers and acquisitions. These mergers likely left you with multiple ERP (enterprise resource planning) systems, leaving you to wonder what it’s going to cost to integrate all those disparate systems into one, concise location. If you’ve been down this road before, you know that assimilating multiple ERPs can be a huge challenge, straining your IT department and your budget.
But what if you could seamlessly integrate all your ERP systems with your purchase-to-pay solution?
Heineken Nederland consolidates multiple ERPs
Heineken Nederland was running 5 different ERPs and processing over 430,000 purchase order invoices a year. Since they were operating in a fairly complex and intricate environment, they were looking for a way to:
-
Quickly and seamlessly integrate their several ERPs into one location,
-
Integrate invoice processing solutions with their complex IT environment,
-
Automate their electronic and paper invoice matching, and
-
Simplify their processes and save time.
To achieve all their goals, they adopted Basware AP Automation.
After just 9 months, Heineken Nederland automated their invoice process and united their five ERP systems. They saw a 95% decrease in approval time for electronic invoices, which they owe to implementing invoice automation.
