A prestigious Savile Row bespoke tailor renowned for crafting garments for film stars and royalty, and films has partnered with Quadient to revolutionise their accounts payable (AP) processes. With a history spanning over 170 years, this tailor is synonymous with tradition, excellence, and attention to detail. However, as their operations expanded, they recognised the need to modernise their invoicing process to maintain high standards and operational efficiency.
Challenge
The tailor's manual invoice processing system, which involved matching invoices with purchase orders and manually entering data into QuickBooks Online, had become increasingly time-consuming and error-prone. The traditional approach slows down operations and creates challenges in maintaining the precision and quality they are known for. To uphold their commitment to excellence, the tailor sought a solution that would streamline their AP processes, reduce errors, and provide greater visibility and accountability.
