Situation.
Finance function of approximately 350 FTE across seven countries, under pressure to absorb growth without adding headcount.
AI in finance.
European aftermarket group
Challenge.
Processes differed by country and data quality varied by entity. Accounts payable alone ran across four ERP instances, limiting automation.
What we did.
Assessed use cases at process level, defined prerequisite data and process standardisation, and sequenced implementation.
The outcome.
A roadmap targeted approximately 20% effort reduction in transactional finance over 24 months, with standardisation prerequisites costed and sequenced before the AI build.
Anonymised engagement. Figures are approximate. Targets, assessed potential, approved programmes and realised results are described separately in the outcome. Converted amounts use ECB reference rates dated 18 September 2026, rounded to two significant figures.
