Customer story
Melcon cut invoice processing time by 85%, with no added headcount.
How a 100-person electronics manufacturer automated capture, three-way matching, and exception routing end to end.
ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer
The challenge
Paying a bill was never as simple as reading it.
Melcon runs a 100-person electronics manufacturing operation, ISO 9001:2015 certified, building control gears that depend on tightly specified raw materials and components. Like most factories, their accounts payable process was never as simple as reading an invoice and paying it.
Every incoming bill first had to be checked against physical reality: had the goods actually arrived, had they passed quality inspection, and did the quantity received match the purchase order? Only once a goods inward report confirmed all of that could the invoice, purchase order, and goods inward report be matched line by line in a three-way check, and any mismatch had to be chased down by hand across the warehouse, quality, and purchasing teams.
One dedicated team member ran this for around 40 invoices a day. Each invoice took roughly 6 minutes just to key in and cross-check, close to four hours of pure data work, and the exceptions that didn't match cleanly added hours more of chasing goods inward reports, quality holds, and pricing queries across three teams. Between the two, the process consumed almost their entire working day and left little room for anything else.
The solution
An automated layer over how Melcon already runs.
Ennovity replaced the manual keying and cross-checking with an automated layer that plugs directly into how Melcon already runs its warehouse, quality, purchasing, and finance teams.
Touchless capture
Automated capture and extraction of every incoming invoice, with no manual data entry.
Automated three-way matching
Each line matched against the goods inward report and the purchase order, with short-receipts and price variances surfaced and debit notes raised where they applied.
Role-based exception routing
Quantity gaps to the warehouse, quality holds to inspection, pricing queries to purchasing, instead of one person re-checking everything by hand.
Deep ERP integration
Bi-directional integration with Melcon's existing ERP: goods inward data is read back through the linked document chain, and validated invoices post straight through as vendor bills.
The results
85% less time on the task, a day handed back.
With capture, matching, and exception routing automated, Melcon's average invoice processing time dropped from 6 minutes to about 1 minute, an 85% reduction on the task itself.
Because the specialist now steps in only on the exceptions the system flags, rather than manually clearing all 40 invoices, roughly 70% of their working day was freed for higher-value work, all without Melcon adding a single person to their finance team.
No added headcount. The same specialist now owns a faster, cleaner AP process, and spends their day on judgement calls instead of data entry.
Run the same play on your AP.
