Challenge
The problem
Back-office bottleneck on invoice audits, vendor payable matching, and freight cost reconciliation was delaying month-end close by 9 days.

Result
The outcome
- Month-end close reduced from 12 to 3 days
- $340K recovered in duplicate / overcharged invoices
- Vendor onboarding cycle cut from 21 to 5 days
- Finance team focus shifted to FP&A and strategy
