Clas Ohlson is a well-known Swedish retail chain with around 200 physical stores spread across five countries. The company began invoice automation after replacing a 30-year-old finance system.

The rollout happened in phases: England in 2016, followed by Norway, Finland and Germany in 2017, and finally the largest rollout in Sweden in May 2018.

"Rillion is an incredibly simple and user-friendly system, both to work in and to operate," says Jan Skarner, Head of Business Navigation. "For the purchase invoices we have been given an integration solution that is completely phenomenal, where it is impossible today to pay to the wrong supplier or the wrong amount."

The seamless three-way integration between Rillion and Microsoft AX has automated the purchase-to-pay processes and significantly reduced the need for manual matching, and Clas Ohlson is now planning to extend the automation to indirect purchasing and contract matching.
