Wolf Construction eliminates paper-based accounts payable with Stampli and Billy the Bot

The problem

Wolf Construction's AP was entirely paper-based, with invoices piling up on desks and in filing cabinets, creating approval bottlenecks, manual data entry errors, fraud exposure, and severe delays as the company expanded across multiple locations and job sites.

First attempt

The paper-based AP process undermined approval rigor and enabled fraud; an employee exploited the weaknesses in the system to steal money.

Reported outcome
