How B&G Food Manages Invoices for 150 Restaurants with Ottimate

  • Tony Loeb
  • 14 April 2025
💾 B&G Food Enterprises, Taco Bell's largest franchisee in Louisiana with 150 locations and 3,000 employees, faced a challenge managing thousands of invoices weekly among franchises in Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi since 1982. The AP department processed 700 invoices per week manually, a time-consuming task with complex tax rates and formats. They adopted Ottimate for invoice automation, which resulted in a 92% reduction in processing time, saving 46 hours monthly. Now, 90% of their old imaging system is obsolete, and invoice processing dropped from 60 seconds to 5 seconds per invoice.
