The Situation
Q1 Energy AG manages a network of over 250 gas stations with daily document flows from supplier invoices, maintenance logs, calibration certificates, and compliance documents.
Each station generates an average of 40-60 documents per week. Manual capture and assignment consumed significant personnel resources at headquarters.
Regulatory requirements in the energy sector require complete traceability of all documents with retention periods of up to 10 years.
With over 250 stations and 60 documents per week per station, we are dealing with more than 15,000 receipts monthly. Processing this manually was no longer sustainable.
Challenge & Solution
Challenges
- Over 15,000 documents monthly from 250+ gas stations
- Heterogeneous document types: invoices, calibration logs, maintenance reports
- Regulatory retention obligations of up to 10 years
- Manual assignment of documents to individual stations and cost centers
- Delays in monthly billing due to missing receipts
Solutions with PaperOffice
