Axens, a major player in the petrochemical industry, has launched a significant digital transformation project to support its growth in France and internationally. This strategic initiative, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, aims to increase the company’s digital maturity to meet new expectations (remote work, service, etc.)  

Adoption of e-invoicing

For large companies, electronic invoicing aims to automate processes, integrate data seamlessly, and improve invoice management. E-invoicing can offer many benefits to businesses, including time and cost savings and increased efficiency.

Initial motivations

Axens’ IT and finance departments decided to replace traditional paper-based invoicing (manual entry in SAP) with fully automated and secure invoice receipt. The main objective was to streamline invoice processing while simplifying the daily tasks of its accountants, and operators.

Choosing the Compleo Invoice Platform (CIP) solution

Axens then wanted to automate the receipt of supplier invoices, integrate invoicing data in SAP, and reconcile invoices with purchase orders and delivery notes via a single interface, enabling real-time verification.

Axens turned to Symtrax’s latest e-invoicing solution, Compleo Invoice Platform (CIP).
