Turning Accounts Payable into a Profit Center: How a Retail Giant Saved Over $2.5Million via Dynamic Discounting

For this industry giant with a workforce of over 6,000, cash flow was never the problem, optimizing it was. Handling billions in annual spend across thousands of suppliers, the company realized they were leaving massive value on the table.

While they needed standard invoice automation, their primary goal was financial strategic advantage. They wanted to leverage their strong cash position to capture early payment discounts, a feat impossible with their sluggish, manual legacy systems.

Major Roadblocks & Opportunities

Our Solution

InvoiceAnywhere implemented a high-velocity automated procurement and payment engine, with a specific focus on our Early Payment Discount Module.

Hyper-Fast Processing

By utilizing AP invoice automation, we reduced the "receipt-to-approval" timeline to under 48 hours. This opened the window for early payments.

Dynamic Discounting Engine

The system now automatically identifies invoices eligible for discounts. It offers vendors the option to get paid early in exchange for a sliding-scale discount (e.g., pay on day 5 for a 2% discount).

Supplier Self-Service Portal

Vendors can now log in, view invoice status, and proactively request early payment on approved invoices to improve their own cash flow.

Budget & Fraud Guardrails

Despite the speed, the automated invoicing software enforces strict budget checks and fraud detection algorithms before any funds are released.
