You’ve probably never heard of Palmer & Harvey, at least – you probably think you haven’t. Faced with their logo though, undoubtedly you’d recognise it – because Palmer & Harvey is one of those ubiquitous sights, like Eddie Stobbart, on our roads, on our travels and in and around towns. The UK’s largest delivered wholesaler, the company is the country’s 6th largest and delivers to 90,000 retail outlets. With 14 large depots and more than 4,000 employees – it’s fair to say that the company processes a rather large number of invoices. In fact, back in 2011 that number was 150,000, with 800 suppliers and a £3bn spend.

In many Accounts Payable departments, matching supplier statements is the least favourite task - mostly because it’s a manual, labourious and time-consuming process. And if a task is the least favourite, you can be sure that there are associated problems...In this case, the largely manual process means that not enough reconciliations are completed, which can then leads to inaccurate supplier balances and a negative impact on cash from missed credits and incorrect postings. But, if the process can be automated - more supplier accounts can be reconciled, leaving AP professionals free to focus on dealing with the exceptions rather than the chore of trying to find them in the first place. Suppliers also benefit because they have greater clarity on the status of their account - meaning fewer phone calls into AP.

Increasingly we live in a complex world where sometimes, some of the things meant to make life easier, only end up making it more confusing. Often, when faced with too much choice, we simply stick with doing things the way they’ve always been done – not necessarily because it’s better, but because we know it works, and more importantly - from a ease of understanding perspective - we probably have a good understanding of how it works too.
