Five Guys UK automates invoice process with Yooz

Five Guys UK’s finance team is using artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotic process automation software from Yooz to automate the burger restaurant’s accounts payable function.

Optical character recognition technology uses learning algorithms to ‘read’ and understand invoices, cutting processing time from weeks to a few days. It took two weeks to implement and create automatic exchanges between Yooz and Sage X3. The solution is now automating more than 90% of Five Guys’ invoices. 

Finance Manager at Five Guys UK, Jen Kim, says: “Automating our invoice process is guaranteeing total security and traceability of daily operations on all our UK restaurants.”

“We have been impressed with how quickly Yooz was integrated with Sage X3, and how its advanced and powerful OCR technology has cut our invoice processing time.”

The solution has also been deployed in Spain. Five Guys is also working with Yooz on a roll-out in Germany with a projected monthly invoice volume of around 4,000 documents being completely automated.
