Stampli cuts Wenspok Companies' invoice processing time by 75% across 67 Wendy's franchises

Wenspok Companies needed to dramatically accelerate invoice processing to provide strategic cash flow guidance for its 67-restaurant operation, having already suffered a failed AP automation implementation that caused sync failures, double payments, and reconciliation issues with a vendor unfamiliar with their ERP and industry.

Outcome

Stampli reduced invoice processing time by 75% (from 28 days to 7), cut days to approval by 87% (from 16 days to 2), achieved a 73% faster monthly credit card close (down to 4 days), and increased receipts attached to transactions by 65%, enabling strategic cash flow management and allowing the finance team to repurpose time to higher-value projects.

What failed first

A prior AP automation provider failed to sync invoices with Sage Intacct, caused double payments to vendors, created a reconciliation nightmare, and had support staff who understood neither Wenspok's ERP nor the QSR industry.
