The situation

Fresh produce waits for no one. The paperwork had to keep up.

Vitacress Real grows and packs fresh herbs in Venlo. Those herbs are on shelves across Europe within days, and you can see that pace in the books. Growers, carriers, packaging suppliers, the energy contract: everything sends invoices. Hundreds a month combined, 109 of them on the busiest day.

Most belong to a purchase order, and so to a delivery that wants checking: do the lines match what was ordered and what was received? Some run past two hundred lines.

Without help that means retyping, digging out orders and packing slips, comparing lines. At this volume that is no longer admin. That is a full-time job.

How an invoice runs

Plenty happens. Just not by hand.

An invoice arrives and gets to work. Someone is only pulled in when there is genuinely something to decide.

Every entry in Exact Online keeps its context: which order, which deviation, who approved.

The check that matters

Does what was invoiced match what was ordered and delivered?

For purchase invoices, that is the question it all comes down to. It is also exactly the check that costs the most time by hand: find the order, find the packing slip, compare the lines.

Glimps puts invoice, order and receipt side by side, line by line, within tolerances Vitacress Real set itself. Almost always the answer is clear enough to continue without a human. And when something is off? Finance sees exactly what is off. No more searching.

Approval

Invoices find their own approver.

Roughly a quarter of invoices need sign-off, from fourteen different colleagues across the company. That used to mean emailing, forwarding and one more friendly reminder.

Now Vitacress Real’s own rules decide who sees an invoice. At approval time that colleague sees the full invoice, with the order and any deviations right next to it. An AI insight gathers the context up front: what kind of invoice this is, and what stands out. They can judge it on the spot, without looking anything up.

The result

Finance manages the exceptions, not every invoice.

The standard stream runs on its own. What remains are the cases where a human genuinely needs to decide, and those arrive with full context attached.
