Driscoll's of EMEA, market leader for fresh strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries, set out to become more efficient in order to create more value for growers, customers and consumers. Recommendations from customers and a colleague who had previously worked with ISPnext led to the choice for ISPnext's plug-and-play interface. ISPnext now makes invoice processing more efficient across business units in Europe.
Driscoll's invoice processing process was obsolete: largely manual and paper-based, with little sharing of work across business units in Europe.
ISPnext implemented via its plug-and-play interface, with little to no development costs. Invoices are now processed and archived digitally, across eight tax groups in five countries and four branches.
Time and cost savings by sharing work across business units, digital archiving that also enables working from home, and a contribution to Driscoll's sustainability goals.
Gaining control over an outdated, paper-based invoice process
To create more value for growers, customers and consumers, Driscoll's set out to become more efficient. The existing invoice processing process stood in the way.
-
Obsolete invoice processing process
Driscoll's invoice processing process was obsolete, which cost the organisation time and money.
-
Limited sharing of work between business units
Work could not be efficiently shared across Driscoll's various business units in Europe.
-
Paper-based archiving limited flexibility
Invoices were archived on paper, which was costly, not environmentally friendly, and made working from home impossible.
"Thanks to ISPnext, we save time and costs by sharing work across our European business units, and we have enabled digital archiving."
More efficient invoice processing with ISPnext's plug-and-play interface
On the recommendation of customers and a colleague who had previously worked with ISPnext, Driscoll's chose the plug-and-play interface to digitise and streamline the invoice process.
-
Plug-and-play interface
Thanks to the plug-and-play interface, there are little to no development costs on Driscoll's side. The promised flexibility has been delivered, and ISPnext has been very patient with the long run-up needed to give a final GO.
-
Sharing work between business units
Invoice processing work is shared across the various business units in Europe, saving both time and costs.
-
Digital archiving
Invoices are archived digitally instead of on paper. This delivers cost savings and, above all, is much more environmentally friendly, aligning with Driscoll's sustainability ambitions, such as the shift from plastic to paper packaging materials.
-
Rollout across multiple countries and entities
Together with the European Controller and the Subject Matter Expert, the project was led within the European organisation. Driscoll's uses ISPnext in eight tax groups in the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, England and Morocco, spread across four branches.
More efficient, sustainable and flexible working
Implementing ISPnext resulted in more efficient collaboration between business units, digital archiving instead of paper, and the ability to work from home.
