Featured proof point
A 500,000-employee benchmark that holds up under scrutiny
In 2020, Teleperformance's Head of Digitalization ran a controlled, internal study comparing invoice processing across the Nordics, UK, and France - each region processing 200 invoices under different setups.
The Nordics, running EDC (OCR) plus Truvio AP inside D365 F&O, processed 600 invoices a month in just 40 hours. The UK, on standard F&O with OCR alone, needed 224 hours for 1,200 invoices. France, without OCR, needed 198 hours for 700.
