Milaha accelerates invoice processing time by 64% with ABBYY intelligent document processing and Blue Prism RPA

The problem

Milaha's mailroom received hundreds of invoices daily in paper and digital format. Two staff manually sorted and routed them to five department staff who manually entered and reconciled each invoice in satellite subsystems, then keyed them again into an ERP for payment — creating duplicate data entry, errors, and lengthy processing times.
