Spain's Largest Food Company Relies on ReadSoft for Improved Business Processes


STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Feb. 7, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Leche Pascual Group, Spain's leading food company, has invested in INVOICES from ReadSoft (Stockholm:RSOFb). The software will automate the vast volumes of paper invoices and speed up financial processes at Leche Pascual's financial department in Burgos, Spain. The initial order-value exceeds 100,000 USD.

The main activity of Leche Pascual Group is the packaging and commercialization of top-quality dairy products. The company employs 3,700 people and reaches 180,000 sales outlets every month. Leche Pascual now turns to ReadSoft to fully automate their invoice handling and improve internal business processes. Previously, the handling of invoices from all of Leche Pascual's suppliers was very much dependent on manual labor. From now on the process will be less resource-demanding, as the ReadSoft software will scan, interpret and verify the invoices in a highly automated process. The accounts payable process is one area where the software will offer substantial savings in time and resources.

"During the last 12 months our INVOICES-sales have grown steadily in Spain. We now have a substantial list of valuable reference customers on this market with names such as Carrefour, Ericsson and Pre-Natal. To receive yet another INVOICES order from a leading Spanish business is rewarding and motivates us to accelerate our efforts on this fine market," said Jan Andersson, MD at ReadSoft.

What is INVOICES?

At the same time, the software checks the data against information in the customer's business system.
