PISCATAWAY, NEW JERSEY, UNITED STATES, June 20, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Sonalika a leading tractor manufacturer in India, has taken a significant leap towards digital transformation with the implementation of SAP Intelligent technologies in its inbound logistics operations. The company has bid farewell to traditional manual processes, replacing them with a digital approach that promises enhanced efficiency and productivity.

The adoption of an AP Automation solution marks a significant milestone for Sonalika, streamlining their gate entry and accounts payable processes. By leveraging digital tools and automation, the company aims to eliminate manual and time-consuming tasks, boosting overall operational effectiveness.

The solution automates the invoicing entry process for over 800 vendors through the templatization of invoice formats. Supplier invoices are now scanned and stored in a Document Management System (DMS) folder. Utilizing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology and SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) Process Automation, gate entries are automatically posted. Additionally, account payable processes such as invoice posting, credit memos, and workflows are seamlessly managed using SAP Build Process Automation tools.

Introducing a token system at the gate and implementing digital stamps for material document creation have automated manual steps, significantly reducing execution time from 2-3 hours to a mere 10-15 minutes. This optimization has eliminated redundant and error-prone manual activities, bringing
greater accuracy and efficiency to Sonalika operations.

Moreover, the digitalization efforts have provided the company with real-time visibility into its inbound logistics processes, enabling better planning, execution, monitoring, and management control. Dashboards with comprehensive insights have empowered Sonalika Tractors to make data-driven decisions and ensure streamlined operations.

Expressing his enthusiasm for the project, Mr. Sunil Kumar, the Group CFO and Project Owner, stated:
“Implementing AP automation is a significant milestone in our digital transformation journey. This has streamlined our financial processes and will improve efficiency. This investment in automation technology will enhance inbound logistics efficiency, reducing manual effort and errors.”
