tangro at ContiTech: Limitless accounting efficiency

Integration and streamlining in one company with nine business areas and locations in more than 40 countries? Yes, at ContiTech, a leading global supplier of rubber and plastic products: the Continental Division, with 185 sites in 44 countries, has made its incoming invoice processing procedures considerably more efficient and transparent – with the help of tangro IM software which is being introduced across many different areas.

The consistent automation of processes for entering, checking and booking incoming invoices on to SAP has reduced document turnaround time while significantly improving transparency and traceability. "tangro automatically recognises invoice content so that data no longer needs to be input manually but only briefly checked," Frank Sünderman explains, Director of IT Business Systems at ContiTech. "At the same time, we have an overview of all invoices. This means that we know where the documents are for their approval and we can follow the entire process."

A particular advantage is the fact that tangro is SAP-embedded and therefore offers complete consistency with the SAP system - without interface problems. This integrated approach is advantageous for both IT and the user: "technologically speaking, tangro embedded itself completely into our system environment. We didn't have to exchange any data with upstream systems, which we would have had to do with other systems," Sünderman says. "From an IT perspective, tangro stands out because of its incredibly simple handling. We have a good overview over what is needed from a technological point of view and we can maintain and manage tangro with minimum effort."

The complete embedding in SAP is also advantageous from a user perspective. "Because tangro is SAP-embedded," Sünderman continues, "during invoice processing, users experience the same interfaces as those they had already become used to in their day-to-day work with the SAP system. The SAP GUI makes the tangro solution, from a user point of view, particularly easily manageable."
