De Mandemakers Groep uses a new RPA software system to process payables and receivables. The aim was to clear the backlog in payables and receivables and to create a clearer financial overview.

Approach

Processing and improving

  1. Analysing the RPA softwareJuly 2022The project started with a thorough analysis of the RPA software and the way the payables department worked, to find the bottlenecks causing the backlog.
  2. Fresh-eyes reportPossible solutions were discussed with the finance department and captured in a fresh-eyes report. De Mandemakers Groep's IT department then implemented the improvements itself.
  3. Clearing the backlogUntil January 2023The consultants processed the existing backlog manually in the RPA system, with weekly check-ins and checks by the finance department to monitor progress.
