Kiva Confections doubles AP productivity and achieves 6X faster invoice lifecycle with Stampli
Kiva's small accounting team processed roughly 650 invoices per month through fully manual AP processes — filing vendor emails into Gmail folders and manually importing attachments into Intacct — with no centralized visibility, making on-time payment and duplicate detection difficult.
How it works
Common implementation structure
How this type of workflow is generally built, generalized across documented cases — not tied to any one vendor's stack. Click any stage to read what happens there. Specific products that implement these stages appear in “Tools commonly seen” below.
Stage 1 · Vendor invoice received by email
Vendors send invoices by email, initiating the AP processing workflow.

Outcome
After implementing Stampli, Kiva's invoice lifecycle fell from 10 to 15 days to two days (6X faster), accounting team productivity doubled so one person now processes 100% of invoices, and the team gained 100% visibility into invoice status.
