Hadwiger talks about the value and benefits of being paperless in the cloud. He states that “GT Nexus value was recognized right away with Crocs. Crocs is a growing company, growing about 15%. We were taking invoices from our suppliers and it was taking us a minimum of 26 days to process those invoices. GT Nexus allowed us to cut that cycle time down to .5 days. I didn’t have to expand my AP department. I actually lowered them from 5 full time employees to .25 for support and .5 to run the GT Nexus platform.”

Key Takeaways

  • Adopting paperless, cloud‑based invoice processing dramatically reduced Crocs’ invoice cycle time from 26 days to half a day.
  • Efficiency gains allowed Crocs to downsize its AP staff from 5 full‑time employees to just 0.25 for support plus 0.5 to operate the platform.
  • Implementing GT Nexus enabled scalable operations and significant cost savings without sacrificing performance.
