The RhB is a highly competitive company in leisure, commuter and freight transport segments. With its unique mountain routes, the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Glacier Express and Bernina Express, it has been guaranteeing fascinating rail experiences right across Graubünden since 1889. The company was looking for a professional solutions partner to digitize its invoice processing with Basware software, and Arcplace was chosen.

End-to-end digital process with expansion potential

RhB processes around 35,000 vendor invoices annually. The majority of processing steps were previously carried out manually, on paper. The introduction of automated invoice processing for paper and PDF invoices completely replaces the manual process. Using Basware's leading technology facilitates the entire workflow from the entry of vendor invoices, validation and approval through to payment and archiving. "We now have a better overview of the invoices. We always know where the documents are because they no longer have to be physically passed from one person to another. Electronic approval also ensures consistent compliance with authorisation rules," explains Jörg Steiner, IT project manager at the Rhaetian Railway.

The solution implemented by Arcplace was fully integrated into the RhB's complex system landscape consisting of two ERP systems. Nothing stands in the way of a future introduction of a company-wide uniform process for order, vendor and receipt processing (Purchase-to-Pay - P2P).

Electronic processing offers many advantages

The electronic processing of accounts payable invoices enables Switzerland's largest Alpine railway to significantly increase process efficiency, shorten throughput times and, at the same time, optimize the use of resources. The electronic approval of invoices ensures compliance with authorization regulations and increases process transparency.
