As part of a process optimization project, we worked closely with Klauke to improve their Purchase-to-Pay processes — with a particular focus on logistics and goods receipt.
The challenge
Key challenges included:
- Limited transparency across the P2P process chain
- Manual handling of delivery notes and documents
- Inefficient communication between departments
- Lack of system integration
The approach
We analyzed the existing processes in detail and focused on optimizing the logistics chain.
The key steps included:
- Mapping the full process chain and delivery structure
- Evaluating existing systems and selecting additional tools
- Introducing AI-supported OCR to automate document processing
- Implementing a workflow system to improve transparency and communication
The result
By digitizing delivery notes and integrating workflows, we enabled a fully transparent and efficient process:
- No more manual data entry for documents
- Faster and more reliable processing
- Early detection of deviations and issues
- Improved planning capabilities in logistics
The entire P2P process benefits from better data availability, faster communication and increased responsiveness.
Conclusion
Optimizing operational processes requires both technical solutions and a deep understanding of workflows.
By combining both, companies can significantly improve efficiency and transparency.
