Electronic contract and invoice management for AKN Eisenbahn AG


AKN Eisenbahn AG operates 255 kilometers of railway lines in Germany and serves 66 stations for 12.7 million passengers per year. It also operates in the field of rail freight. The challenge for this major player in rail mobility was to reduce its costs through the optimization of invoicing and contract management processes and better integration of the company's various businesses via the interconnection of its ERP SAP R/ 3 and its Lotus Notes communication system. With more than 14,000 paper invoices received each year, the implementation of a solution to dematerialize invoices, integrate them into the ERP and reconcile them with contracts became essential for the performance of the company.


The choice of the rail transport company fell on the ELO Enterprise solution. Deploying EDM's solution for the transport and logistics sector has enabled AKN to reduce its invoice processing expenses by approximately 20%. All contracts and related documents are available in their entirety in ELO ECM for the transport and logistics sector, and ELO connectors have made it possible to interface EDM with SAP ERP and Lotus Notes software for greater fluidity and traceability of information among the actors of the company.


“Across all of our treatment centers, we have achieved a reduction in treatment costs of approximately 20%. This is an impressive number for us. In addition, the processing time has also been significantly reduced. » Frank Dubberke, Project Manager AKN Eisenbahn AG
