Meet the users - Invoice Workflow

More than 150 companies use Invoice Workflow

Here some of them talk about the value and benefits of the solution:

"Invoice Workflow prepares all documents for our users. It has been a revolutionary experience for us."
Hans Andrias Joensen
CEO, Thor LTD.

"Invoice Workflow allows us to kill two birds with one stone. We can approve purchase invoices faster, and thereby obtain higher discounts."
Thomas Frank
IT Manager, Plantorama

"It’s a whole new world. We couldn’t survive without Invoice Workflow. Now we are always up to date."
Helgi Joensen
CFP, Bygma Balslev

“Now we spend time creating value instead of doing trivial work”

One of the more than 150 companies using Invoice Workflow is Plantorama. The company processes 25,000 purchase invoices a year. Read about how Plantorama has benefited from the solution here:

Ambition on line level

Plantorama has grown over time from being a small nursery to a garden centre chain with seven centres. In the past, you could handle daily operations with manual paperwork, and you were willing to accept that you could only approve group-level invoices. However, today, reality is very different, and the need to better understand how the business is connected is increasing.

EDI in focus

“At Plantorama, we have embarked on an EDI project to help us better understand our business, and Invoice Workflow is a natural part of that project. We are working hard to get our suppliers to invoice electronically, but we know that we are facing a challenge in the “green industry”. Many of the smaller suppliers are not ready for digital services yet. However, our goal is to get 10 of our largest suppliers to invoice electronically. If we succeed, it will mean that 50 percent of our 25,000 invoices will be electronic,” says Thomas Frank, IT Manager at Plantorama.

Invoice Workflow saves time and money

According to Thomas Frank, Invoice Workflow must secure Plantorama savings in terms of both time and money. “Our ambition is to get to the product line level, and here, Invoice Workflow is an essential tool. Invoice Workflow allows us to conduct an automatic line match between the purchase order and the invoice received. It saves a lot of time for our purchasing department, and it also means that we can get some better cash discounts,” says Thomas Frank, and continues, “And it’s precisely these cash discounts that will finance the entire project. We expect an ROI in two years.”

Value instead of trivial work

Thomas Frank also emphasises another advantage of Invoice Workflow, namely the possibility of changing and optimising the workflows with administration in connection with archiving and handling the approval procedures.

“Invoice Workflow allows us to kill two birds with one stone. We get faster approval of receipts and can then obtain more and larger cash discounts, which is a great advantage, particularly for our administrative department. By switching to Invoice Workflow, we can avoid the more trivial work, and our staff have more of a controller function. In this way, we can spend time creating value instead of spending time on trivial manual work,” emphasises Thomas Frank.

Invoice Workflow – a solution that works

When the choice fell on Invoice Workflow, it is because Plantorama has purposefully gone for a system they were sure would work and which could provide the desired benefits. “I already knew about Invoice Workflow. It’s a solution that has been developed over several years, and it works! There are some definite advantages to Invoice Workflow in the form of faster approval procedures, and control is automatic, which gives you a better overview and opportunity for follow-up. Another advantage of Invoice Workflow is that it’s a proven system that is easy to understand. And last but not least, it’s a system that can be implemented quickly,” says Thomas Frank.

NORRIQ understands the business

At Plantorama, NORRIQ has been responsible for the implementation of Invoice Workflow. “We chose NORRIQ because they have an excellent business understanding and have experts who have tried it before. It was essential for us that we had a supplier who understood our business and who could ensure that the project was not delayed for several years,” concludes Thomas Frank.
