Gate Gourmet Centralizes its Accounts Payables & Accounts Receivables Process with Automation

Client
Gate Gourmet is the leading global provider of airline catering solutions and provisioning services for airlines, both in-flight at over 200 airports as well as at airport lounges.

Challenges
Gate Gourmet is located across multiple airports all over the world and has suppliers and vendors in multiple cities. With its operations scattered across 45 different offices around the world, each office received invoices and receipts from its suppliers in different formats which included emails, physical invoices, excel files, PDFs, etc.

There was a lack of data visibility as the processes were decentralized and Gate Gourmet wanted to improve near real-time visibility of data across different regions and business units in order to eliminate penalties, lost discounts & inefficient application of cash.

Gate Gourmet was looking to automate the current manual process of its accounts payables and receivables operations to increase overall efficiency and reduce associated expenditures.
