Ariat
Apparel & FootwearNear: Paperless AP

Ariat

Ariat is a performance equestrian boots and apparel brand. Their accounts payable department was entirely paper-based, with physical invoices stored in boxes and limited visibility into processing status.

The challenge

Ariat faced inefficient invoice processing through manual, paper-based methods. Physical invoices were stored in boxes, creating time-consuming workflows with limited visibility into accounts payable processes.

  • Inefficient invoice processing through manual, paper-based methods
  • Physical invoices stored in boxes with no digital access
  • Time-consuming workflows with limited AP visibility
  • No ability to work remotely on AP tasks
The solution

Stratas implemented Purchase to Pay automation using Data Forge, featuring automatic invoice scanning and digital invoice management with automated approval workflows. The AP department is now nearly paperless.

  • Purchase to Pay automation using Data Forge
  • Automatic invoice scanning and digital management
  • Automated approval workflows
  • Complete audit trail of all authorisations
  • Remote invoice management and approval enabled
Implementation

How we delivered.

The solution enabled the team to work remotely without any disruption to invoice processing, something that would have been impossible with the previous paper-based system.
