Carhartt AP Automation

About This Engagement

Carhartt needed to modernize their accounts payable operations to handle high-volume payment processing across a complex SAP landscape. Manual processes were creating bottlenecks, increasing error rates, and limiting visibility into financial operations.

The Challenge

With $87M in monthly payments flowing through their systems, Carhartt required an automation solution that could scale without sacrificing accuracy or compliance. Key challenges included multi-system reconciliation, exception handling, and real-time reporting.

• High-volume invoice processing across SAP
• Manual reconciliation creating delays and errors
• Limited visibility into payment status and bottlenecks

CPS Solution

CPS designed and implemented an end-to-end AP automation program that connected Carhartt's SAP environment with downstream systems, automated invoice matching and approval routing, and delivered real-time dashboards for financial operations visibility.

"CPS transformed our AP operations from a manual bottleneck into a scalable, automated engine that processes $87M monthly with confidence."

Results

The program delivered measurable improvements in processing speed, accuracy, and operational visibility — establishing a foundation for continued automation expansion across Carhartt's enterprise.
