Beyer Mechanical Reduces Invoice Processing Time by 60% and Transforms Month-End Close with Stampli

The problem

Beyer Mechanical's two AP clerks manually coded and routed 1,500 invoices per month using PaperSave, which was not integrated with their Sage Intacct ERP. The lack of integration caused unreliable PO matching, duplicate invoices slipping through, system stalls of 15–20 seconds per PO click, and chronic delays that prevented the books from closing on time.

First attempt

PaperSave, the previous AP document management system, spent 45 days attempting to integrate with Sage Intacct without success, leaving PO matching unreliable and invoice coding entirely manual.

“Stampli's AI learns our vendors and the invoices they send, taking a lot of onus off the AP clerks”

Nightly PO import to Intacct
integration
“all POs are now in Intacct, as service contract POs generated by a third party get imported nightly”
4
Automated PO matching
validation
“With all invoices in Stampli and its ability to read the POs in Intacct, the matching and coding is done automatically”
5
AP clerk reviews full or partial

“The only thing the AP clerks need to do is evaluate if it's a full or partial invoice, and that's been the biggest time saver for us from the AP process”

Approved invoice sent to Intacct
output
“to sending approved invoices to Intacct for payment”
Reported outcome

Stampli reduced invoice processing time by 60%, cut the invoice lifecycle from at least five days to 48 hours or less, and reduced monthly AP work from approximately 50 hours to half an hour.
AP clerk resource efficiencies improved by 33%, and Beyer closed its books by day 10 of month-end starting the very first month of use.
