Adbri | Distribution | 1500 | $1.2B | Australia | Tungsten Automation | Kofax Process Director | Document Management | 2016 |
In 2016, Adbri implemented Kofax Process Director to automate accounts payable within its Document Management environment, addressing high-volume invoice processing across Corporate, Cement and Lime, and Concrete and Aggregates divisions. The project targeted the companys finance and payments workflows that handled approximately 100,000 invoices per year and supported operations across all Australian states and territories. The deployment emphasized invoice capture, automated data extraction, and routed approval flows to reduce manual handling and status inquiry email traffic.
Stonebridge Solutions executed the implementation and integrated Kofax optical character recognition to capture emailed and scanned invoices, configuring Kofax Process Director to extract invoice fields, perform data validation, and populate vendor invoice records. The implementation was linked to an accounts payable automation strategy built on OpenText Vendor Invoice Management for SAP Systems, with Kofax providing front-end capture and extraction capabilities and OpenText embedded into the existing SAP payment system.
Operational coverage focused on accounts payable and finance teams, eliminating hardcopy invoice data entry and reducing exception handling by routing exceptions into defined workflows for review and resolution. The solution increased visibility into invoice status, replacing ad hoc email-based inquiries with system-based tracking so stakeholders could see where an invoice was in the approval lifecycle. The project included at least two subsequent Vendor Invoice Management upgrades which were executed with minimal operational impact.
Outcomes reported by Adbri included increased confidence to pay invoices on time, fewer manual exceptions to handle, and reduced finance hours. The Cement and Lime division moved to processing more than 85 percent of invoices automatically rather than requiring manual intervention, up from as low as 30 percent in 2014. Kofax Process Director, as implemented at Adbri, became a core component of the companys Document Management approach to accounts payable automation.

Adbri | Distribution | 1500 | $1.2B | Australia | OpenText | OpenText Vendor Invoice Management | AP Automation | 2017 |
In 2017, Adbri implemented OpenText Vendor Invoice Management as its AP Automation solution. Stonebridge Solutions, a subsidiary of Konica Minolta, led the implementation, embedding OpenText Vendor Invoice Management for SAP Systems into Adbri’s existing SAP environment. The project targeted accounts payable across Corporate, Cement and Lime, and Concrete and Aggregates divisions, which together processed approximately 100,000 invoices per year, and aimed to eliminate hardcopy invoice data entry while reducing processing error and handling time.
The deployment configured automated invoice capture and data extraction, leveraging Kofax optical character recognition for emailed and variably formatted invoices, which fed structured invoice data into OpenText Vendor Invoice Management. Implemented functional capabilities included invoice validation and matching, automated exception detection and routed approval workflows, plus centralized search and status tracking to provide a single system of record for the invoice lifecycle. The OpenText Vendor Invoice Management application was positioned as an embedded AP Automation layer within SAP to enable higher rates of straight through processing.
Integrations explicitly comprised Kofax OCR and the SAP payments and finance modules, with OpenText Vendor Invoice Management operating as the orchestration point for invoice intake, processing and exception workflows. Operational coverage extended across Adbri’s operations in all Australian states and territories and impacted finance and accounts payable teams across the three business divisions. The configuration reduced email intensive status inquiries by surfacing invoice location and ownership directly in the system.
Governance changes centralized exception handling and enforced workflow based approvals, improving auditability and eliminating ambiguous invoice ownership. Adbri reported that the Cement and Lime division now automates more than 85 percent of invoices, compared with a direct processing success rate as low as 30 percent in 2014, and that the Concrete and Aggregates division absorbed increased invoice volume from acquisitions without staffing changes. Adbri also completed two Vendor Invoice Management upgrades with minimal operational impact, indicating a stable upgrade and support posture for the OpenText Vendor Invoice Management deployment.
