In 2022 APA Hotel deployed Bakuraku Invoice to digitalize invoice receipt, payment approvals, and related workflows across its hotel network in Japan. The deployment used Bakuraku請求書 and バクラク申請 to target finance and accounts payable operations, processing thousands of monthly invoices for hundreds of properties while reducing postage costs and enabling compliance with electronic document and invoice regulations.
Implementation focused on AP Automation capabilities for capture and approval, with configuration to support invoice receipt digitization, automated approval routing, and electronic document storage for regulatory compliance. Bakuraku Invoice was configured to enforce approval workflows and to centralize invoice processing rules consistent with accounts payable controls, streamlining standard AP workflows and reducing paper handling.
Operational coverage was limited to APA Group hotels in Japan and concentrated on finance and accounts payable teams across the property network. No external system integrators are listed, and specific third party integrations are not specified in the source, so the implementation narrative centers on application level automation and operational consolidation across sites.
Governance and rollout included centralizing AP process ownership and shifting invoice approvals from paper to digital workflows, producing measurable efficiency gains as reported by APA Group. The program explicitly enabled compliance with Japan electronic invoice and document requirements, and materially cut postage and paper handling costs through the Bakuraku Invoice driven AP Automation rollout.
