EDF picks Cegedim e-business to digitize its supplier invoices
Thanks to the SY by Cegedim solution, EDF expects
half its incoming invoices to be digitized by end-2020
Boulogne-Billancourt, December 3, 2019
Cegedim e-business, a European
expert in B2B process digitalization and digitized data flows, has
been chosen by EDF to digitize supplier invoices. EDF, France’s
incumbent electricity provider, aims to digitize half its 660,000
incoming invoices in 2020 via the SY by Cegedim
platform.
EDF has 26,000 regular suppliers and handles
660,000 incoming invoices a year. The group’s Accounting Shared
Services Centre (CSP - CC, in French), needed a reliable,
time-saving invoice processing solution to optimize its payment
terms and reduce its carbon footprint. Recent regulations
introduced by the French government also encourage large companies
to transition towards digitization.
A user-friendly, standards-compliant
solution
EDF selected SY by Cegedim, Cegedim e-business’
collaborative solution for the digitization of business,
accounting, financial, and communication processes and data flows.
This intuitive, multi-channel solution (EDI, data capture, signed
PDFs) covers most business requirements and is based on an industry
standard.
Michel Castel, Deputy
Director of EDF’s Accounting Shared Services Centre, comments: “EDF
made the organizational changes needed to ensure that the system is
successfully implemented. A year and a half into the project, the
results are very encouraging and reflect the hard work put in by
the project team, EDF, Cegedim e-business, and the accounting teams
on the ground. The project has been so successful, we want to
entrust Cegedim e-business with all our supplier invoices (paper
and digitized), and maybe even expand the collaboration to some of
our subsidiaries”.
Gradually ramping up a pivotal
project
A year after the project was launched, about
fifteen suppliers had an EDI connection and 1,000 were connected to
the supplier portal for signed PDFs. The aim is to double the
number of connected suppliers by 2020, so that 330,000 incoming
invoices are digitized—that’s half of EDF’s annual incoming
invoices.
Cédric Youmbi,
Business Engineer with Cegedim e-business, comments: “We are proud
to work with EDF on this pivotal project, and help it comply with
regulations and simplify invoicing for its suppliers. This lasting
collaboration is founded on trust, expertise-sharing and robust,
scalable tools. Our respective teams are jointly monitoring the
project to ensure it fosters a forward-looking approach and is
implemented according to the highest standards”.
