OHLA Progress Enablers, a leading company in the construction and civil engineering sector, faced a major operational challenge in its shared services area. Managing a high volume of supplier invoices in multiple formats required extensive manual processing before integration into the corporate ERP. This time-consuming process created inefficiencies, increased the risk of errors, and slowed financial operations. OHLA needed a solution capable of automating and centralizing the entire invoice processing lifecycle while ensuring data traceability and availability.
OHLA relied on a highly manual invoice management process driven by the variety of supplier invoice formats. Each document required individual transformation before being posted into the ERP system, consuming significant resources, increasing the risk of human error, and delaying financial closing processes.
In addition, the lack of a centralized platform limited visibility into invoice volumes and processing status, reducing the ability to monitor operations and make informed decisions.
Aleson ITC designed and implemented a Microsoft Azure data architecture to automate and centralize invoice processing. The solution included:
Customer benefits
OHLA transformed a fragmented manual process into an automated, centralized, and auditable workflow. Faster processing times freed resources for higher-value activities, while ERP integration reduced errors and improved operational efficiency. Power BI also provides complete visibility into the invoicing process, supporting better financial decision-making.
Key results
Elimination of manual processes
Automated invoice processing across multiple formats, reducing processing times and operational errors.
Centralized and scalable data architecture
Implementation of a unified platform on Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2 to manage invoices, master data, and inventories securely and at scale.
