Top Image Closes $1.1M Deal With Global Power & Control Provider to Deploy End-to-End Purchase to Payment Solution

TEL AVIV, Israel, Nov. 5, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Top Image Systems, Ltd. TISA, a leading ECM (Enterprise Content Management) intelligent content capture and delivery solutions provider, today announced a multi-phased pan-European deal valued at $1,064,000 for licenses and maintenance to provide a comprehensive eFLOW® INVOICE, solution for invoice processing, to a global specialist in energy management with operations in more than 100 countries, over 130,000 employees and sales of over 29 billion dollars in 2011.

The solution leverages the unique and flexible eFLOW® ECM platform to provide fully automated multi-channel invoice capture and processing of pdf files using the unique eFLOW® PDFR (PDF Reader) along with paper and e-invoice processing, all on a single platform. This ability to provide one comprehensive invoicing solution, along with the ability to integrate with the company's numerous disparate ERP implementations, were the reasons that the customer selected TIS. In the first year, the system will process 270,000 invoices and by phase 4 with added geographical locations across Europe will process an annual volume of 1.2 million invoices, with a long-term objective for TIS to become a global Shared Services partner to process the over 4 million invoices that the company receives globally. The project plans for a Go Live by April 2013.

In the past, the customer processed invoices at offices across Europe and at their manual central invoice processing site in Poland. Now using the automated system, the customer plans for the invoicing center to process six times its current capacity without added headcount. By automating all routine invoice receipt, review and approval processes, eFLOW enables the accounts payable staff to focus on exceptional issues requiring individual attention. Moreover, the system provides all relevant authorized parties, from Procurement to Finance to various personnel across different departments involved in company requisitions, with monitoring and document tracking tools for full visibility into invoicing processes. 

The eFLOW solution will help the Invoice Processing Center achieve faster cycle times and provide better service across the enterprise. The solution is expected to improve productivity, accuracy and compliance with regulations. Accelerated invoicing cycle times will enable the company to engage in Supply Chain Financing and generate millions in savings by remitting invoices in time for early payment discounts.  

"We are proud and excited for the opportunity to work with a company of this caliber," stated Barry Richards, Managing Director, TIS UK. "We are confident that our comprehensive invoicing solution, incorporating technologies that manage the newest e-invoice formats, the ability to integrate with diverse ERP applications and best-in-class workflow functionalities, will resolve this global enterprise's current challenges and enable them to fulfill the project's operational and business objectives, both in the initial phases of the project as well as far into the future."
