Who is Silver Eagle?

What was the challenge?
With a manual, paper-based system, AP lacked visibility into spend and had a cumbersome process for reviewing deviations.
How did we help?
With improved visibility, Silver Eagle now tracks who has an invoice, for how long, and where any bottlenecks are occurring.
"With more than 90% of all AP invoices now automated and essentially touchless, we now have control of our true financial picture. Everyone is thrilled – the AP team, the business, our suppliers. The outcome is absolutely remarkable."
