KPTL is now able to handle the exceptions and approval flows efficiently using the system driven standardized business rules through workflow automation. OpenText VIM helps KPTL to significantly reduce invoice processing cycle time (40% reduction in cycle time) by digitalizing all the incoming invoice and seamless integration with SAP. KPTL is now able to maintain proper tax compliance with the help of GST compliance number checking in OpenText VIM. Real-time analytics and monitoring of invoices that are being processed provides KPTL with the necessary KPIs for continual process improvements. Furthermore, the digitized copies of invoices are being stored securely in the OpenText Archive Server and
linked to SAP transactions for future reference which helps in eliminating the constant to and FRO of the physical copy of invoices across different departments. With the implementation of VIM solution, KPTL has been able to consolidate their Accounts Payable process and now efficiently process all their invoices through a Shared Service Centre.

After a quick and successful implementation with visible benefits of OpenText VIM in KPTL, Kalpataru Group is now planning to implement OpenText VIM for their centralized Accounts Payable team at Group level.

“Centralized Control while maintaining decentralized processing, legal compliance & digitization was the key requirement for KPTL. We had challenges due to diversified operations at 150+ site offices in India and 30+ countries outside India. After implementation of OpenText VIM, we’re having much better control over our Accounts Payable process. We’ve now built in the maturity in our processes within KPTL with this solution and are well prepared to take the next leap, to centralize Accounts Payable across the Kalpataru Group.”- Ketan Parikh, CIO, KPTL.
