BauGroup GmbH
82% time savings on invoice approvals through AI-powered extraction and automated multi-level workflows.
Challenge
BauGroup GmbH coordinates dozens of subcontractors per construction project. Over 600 invoices arrived monthly, each requiring manual review, cost-center allocation, and up to three approval tiers — a process so slow it routinely missed early-payment discounts.
- Average 9 business days from invoice receipt to approval
- 32% of early-payment discounts lost due to late processing
- No consistent allocation to cost centers and projects
- Manual approval emails with no audit trail
Our Solution
We automated the entire invoice approval pipeline: AI extracts invoice data, automatically assigns the correct construction project, and routes through up to three approval tiers based on amount — with a complete audit trail at every step.
Multi-Level Approval
L3Conditional AutonomyAI-powered invoice processing with automatic data extraction and multi-level approval workflow.

Client Testimonial
“Invoices used to sit in inboxes for days. Now approvals flow automatically — and the early-payment discounts alone save us over $100,000 a year.”
