Overview

Nesuto is a leading hospitality group offering short and long term accommodation across Australia and New Zealand. With a growing network of properties and a legacy accounts payable process that was entirely manual, the business faced common challenges including lost invoices, delayed payments and limited visibility.

To overcome these inefficiencies and improve compliance, Nesuto partnered with Efficiency Leaders to implement RapidAP, part of the RapidP2P suite. The result was immediate: faster processing, greater control and a team wide uplift in confidence and capability.

Opportunity

Nesuto’s accounts payable process was entirely manual. Invoice data was being keyed into the ERP system by hand, documents were stored in boxes and team members were regularly chasing approvals across departments.

Without built-in delegation of authority, invoices were often delayed or misrouted, while the absence of visibility made month-end closing slow and difficult.

All the invoices had to be entered manually in the system, which was very time consuming. Once we started using RapidAP, it just took a few hours a day to get everything sorted. We were able to generate profit and loss reports by day two of the month, a great success for our business.”

Solution

Efficiency Leaders conducted a detailed scoping session to align the solution with Nesuto’s requirements and business risks. RapidAP was deployed to automate invoice data capture using OCR, streamline approval workflows and apply built-in compliance checks such as ABN and GST validation. The system integrates seamlessly with Infor SunSystems, ensuring data accuracy and efficient payment processing. The deployment was quick, required minimal IT involvement and was well received by finance and hotel teams across the region.
