ABBYY FlexiCapture for Invoices automates utility invoice processing, cutting per-invoice time by 80%
Total Utility processed over 5,000 utility invoices per month entirely by hand, tying up three full-time employees in slow, error-prone data entry that also blocked the company from scaling without adding headcount.
