About Cardinal Glass

Cardinal Glass Industries is a leader in the development of residential glass for windows and doors. The company employs over 10,000 people across 49 locations throughout the United States.

The need for modern AP processes

As the company grew, the AP team at Cardinal Glass demanded a more modern way to manage accounts payable. The processes they had relied on for years were no longer enough to keep up with business growth. At the same time, leadership recognized that adopting new technologies was key to staying ahead and gaining a competitive edge.

Before automating their AP process in JD Edwards, Cardinal Glass was facing three key challenges:

Lack of automated invoice processing

AP operations were heavily paper-based and labor-intensive. The team had to print barcode labels, attach them to invoices, and scan them into PDFs—each invoice required extra time and effort to process.

No electronic approval capabilities

The paper-based approval process created bottlenecks and made it harder to avoid delays.

Mandatory in-office presence

Without automation, the AP team could only do their jobs in the office, limiting flexibility and making remote work impossible.

What changed after implementing SCANMAN AP automation

Cardinal Glass began looking for a solution that could offer:

• Automated approval workflows
• A full audit trail of approvals
• Reduced manual data entry
• Seamless integration with JD Edwards E1

They chose SCANMAN AP Automation as the most suitable solution for JD Edwards and started seeing results quickly.

Shorter approval process

By removing paper invoices, Cardinal Glass fully automated the approval workflow, making it faster and more efficient.

20% weekly reduction in manual AP tasks

The team now saves a full day per week that was previously spent on invoice handling.

Flexible working conditions

With automation, AP clerks can now work remotely and access invoice data from anywhere.

AP clerks now act as reviewers

Instead of focusing on data entry, the team now spends more time on higher-value, strategic tasks.

Fewer errors and better visibility

Eliminating manual entry significantly reduced the risk of errors and gave the team clearer visibility into invoice statuses.

Discover native JDE AP automation

When you’re processing thousands of invoices each month, even small inefficiencies can add up. Cardinal Glass showed that with the right tool, manual bottlenecks can be eliminated, and AP can become a driver of speed, control, and flexibility.

Keep reading to see how they transformed vendor management by moving their processes to a dedicated portal.

Key takeaways

• Viva Energy is managing 1000 suppliers on the portal
• Thanks to Vendor Hub, vendor onboarding and creation are completed within one to two days
• All vendor data is validated and synced with JD Edwards records
• The supplier self-service function significantly reduced vendor queries

Viva Energy is a leading energy provider in Australia, supplying around 25% of the country’s fuel needs. With thousands of vendors across national and international supply chains, the company needed a scalable, efficient way to modernize vendor management and reduce manual workload.

The need for more streamlined vendor management became clear, and Viva Energy chose to implement Vendor Hub, SCANMAN’s vendor portal built for JD Edwards.

Manual onboarding and slow processes

Before Vendor Hub, Viva Energy’s onboarding process was entirely manual. Procurement teams emailed PDF forms to vendors, collected documents through email, and manually updated JD Edwards records. Approval workflows were unstructured and slow, heavily reliant on back-and-forth emails. Meanwhile, the AP team was overwhelmed with high volumes of vendor queries.

The solution: a vendor portal integrated with JD Edwards E1

Viva Energy was already using SCANMAN AP Automation when they decided to implement Vendor Hub to solve their vendor management challenges. The solution, fully integrated with JD Edwards via Orchestrator, enabled real-time data updates between EnterpriseOne and the portal.

Here’s how Vendor Hub made the difference for Viva Energy:

• Vendors can register via an online form
• Once approved, vendor records are automatically updated in JD Edwards
• Vendors can log in anytime to check POs, invoices, and payment status

A new way to manage vendors

The improvements were immediate. Viva Energy onboarded over 1,000 vendors through the portal using a phased rollout, starting with new suppliers and inviting others to register as needed.

Viva Energy achieved impressive results:

• Vendor creation now takes just 1–2 days
• Vendor records are validated and updated automatically in JD Edwards
• Fewer emails, faster vendor processing, and a single source of truth as Vendor Hub centralizes communication and data on one platform
• Suppliers have access to critical documents, reducing invoice and payment queries
• AP and procurement teams can focus on high-value tasks

It’s a clear win for both internal teams and vendor experience, and a standout example of what a well-implemented vendor portal can do.

From spreadsheets to smarter vendor management

Viva Energy’s story shows what’s possible when vendor management is done right on a vendor portal integrated with JD Edwards. The shift from spreadsheets and email chains to a centralized, automated portal has brought real, measurable value, and these are just some of the benefits of a broader procure-to-pay automation strategy.

FCL’s Refinery Operation was drowning in paperwork. Processing 42,000 invoices annually for over 2,000 vendors—many of them high-volume—put significant strain on the AP team. Their meticulous document backup procedures, while thorough, were slowing them down and contributing to excessive turnaround times and costly late fees.

That’s when they turned to SCANMAN AP Automation for JD Edwards.

A Co-operative in Need of a Change

Based in Saskatchewan, Canada, Federated Co-operatives is a $12B wholesale and distribution organization owned by more than 160 independent local Co-ops across Western Canada. Efficiency isn’t just nice to have—it’s essential for supporting such a large, decentralized structure.

Shortly after rolling out JD Edwards EnterpriseOne to their Refinery Complex in 2021, the FCL team began looking for ways to streamline their AP processes and reduce costs. The wish list was clear:

• Native integration with JDE for seamless usage and deployment
• High OCR accuracy to speed up invoice recognition
• Improved visibility into invoice status
• Faster turnaround to avoid late payment penalties

Why SCANMAN Was the Right Fit

After assessing several solutions, SCANMAN stood out for its embedded AP automation within JD Edwards and impressive OCR capabilities. Implementation was fast and didn’t require extensive training. And to boost visibility further, FCL also deployed ReportsNow DAS to monitor invoice aging and exception rates in real time.

From Paper to Performance: The Results

In just a few months, FCL saw measurable improvements. The combination of SCANMAN and ReportsNow DAS helped them tackle the biggest bottlenecks in their AP process:

• Eliminated payment delays, reducing late payment fees by C$72,000
• Improved turnaround time by 60%, with most invoices processed within minutes
• Ensured correct routing of invoices, removing the need to track down approvals
• Enabled real-time visibility, reducing disputes and speeding up resolution times
• Accelerated processing with OCR automation, minimizing manual entry errors
• Captured and stored supporting documentation automatically, enhancing audit readiness

What’s Next for FCL

After the initial success, the team is moving forward to further automate AP processes. FCL is now working with SCANMAN to implement Voucher Match Automation (VMA) to reduce manual touchpoints even further. The long-term goal? Automate 90% of their supplier invoice volume—and eventually scale SCANMAN AP automation across all 160 Co-ops after the JD Edwards rollout is complete.

Ready to See What You Could Save?

FCL’s story is proof that AP automation doesn’t just improve processes; it directly impacts the bottom line. If you’re still relying on manual workflows, the cost isn’t just time—it’s also money left on the table.
