AKN cut its processing costs by around 20% with ELOenterprise. All contracts and the related documents are fully available to the company in ELO. Automatic monitoring of deadlines, payment dates, etc. is no problem thanks to ELO. Plus, an invoice processing system was set up for the existing SAP R/3 system, enabling fast processing and increased transparency for invoice status. The existing Lotus Notes communication system is also linked up with ELO.
