Norsk Stål (Norwegian Steel) is the leading steel and metal distributor in Norway providing high quality products to the offshore, shipbuilding, building and construction, and mechanical industries.
The challenge
Norsk Stål has for many years been using a complete certificate management solution based on MultiArchive, and hence the qualities of both MultiArchive and Multi-Support were well known in the organization. 
With twelve sales offices located throughout Norway the advantage of centralized scanning and interpretation followed by browser based decentralized approval is obvious. With the process automated and managed in a structured and rule based workflow, the accuracy, efficiency, speed, and auditability of the entire process is increased dramatically.
The solution
The new invoice processing solution handles the scanning, interpretation, and approval of 80,000 invoices each year, and is as any IDM solution from Multi-Support totally integrated with the business application - in the case of Norsk Stål BAS/400.
The benefits
The ROI on a solution like this is very rewarding, says IT Manager Morten Hegg from Norsk Stål. And he continues: "Cost-savings on postage alone will amount to NOK 100,000 a year and at the same time we gain more control of supplier invoices as well as a more simple approval and account specification process".
