In 2018, The Cambridge Satchel Company implemented Odoo Invoicing to centralize accounts payable as part of an AP Automation initiative. The project was delivered by Smart IT and targeted finance and operations alignment across the business.
The implementation configured Odoo Invoicing as the core AP Automation module within an integrated Odoo suite, alongside Inventory, Manufacturing, Purchase, and Sales modules.

Operational coverage extended to finance, procurement, and manufacturing teams based in England, supporting approximately 15 users on invoicing workflows. The solution was used to match stock requirements and purchasing schedules with production lead times to meet customer deadlines, integrating invoicing data with inventory and manufacturing records inside the same Odoo instance.
Governance changes included formalized procure-to-pay workflows, tighter invoice approval routing, and automated reconciliation steps to replace manual invoice handling. These workflow restructurings were designed to reduce friction between purchasing, production planning, and accounts payable, improving control over supplier lead time variability.
The Cambridge Satchel Company project was completed in under 7 months and produced explicit business outcomes reported by the company, including increased cash flow, reduced stock holding, reduced manufacturing lead times, and measurable time and cost savings.
