In 2015, Ball Horticultural Company deployed Esker Accounts Payable in the AP Automation category to automate inbound accounts payable document handling and reduce manual SAP entry. The company operates in a B2B environment with seasonal invoice peaks which previously required temporary staff to manually process thousands of invoices. Ball's Director and CIO reported that manual AP processing constrained cash flow because supplier payment timing directly affected customer invoicing.
The project expanded Ball's prior use of Esker's onpremises platform, which had been used for subscription management and to eliminate paper filing. Esker Accounts Payable was configured to ingest paper and electronic invoices, apply OCR for suppliers unable to use EDI, and enable touchless processing for high volume vendors. Implemented functional capabilities included document capture and classification, OCR data extraction, exceptions routing, and automated posting workflows designed to reduce manual SAP entry.
Integration work linked Esker Accounts Payable into Ball's SAP system to automate data transfer and minimize manual posting, and third party supplier onboarding brought 20 major vendors to touchless processing. The deployment focused on procure to pay and order to cash process flows, impacting AP operations and downstream receivables management. Operational coverage emphasized inbound AP workflow orchestration and supplier connectivity rather than broader ERP change.
Governance and process changes centered on supplier onboarding for OCR and touchless handling, automated exception management, and redeployment of staff away from seasonal temp processing. Explicit outcomes reported by Ball include elimination of an entire storage and filing room, reduced processing costs and error rates, improved resource management and staff productivity, enhanced document traceability and oversight, and strengthened supplier and customer satisfaction. Esker Accounts Payable provided Ball Horticultural Company with an AP Automation layer integrated to SAP to support seasonal volume and consistent processing.
