90Days, the accounts payable rebate cycle.
THE LAYER
2Days, and $6.5M+ returned, at a global manufacturer.

Rebates went from 90 days to 2.

90 days

Rebates took 90 days to come back across payables in 4 countries, and part records reached dealers with no photo and no copy.

One layer

I directed the payables work of all 4 countries onto one layer. 2 PO-entry robots and one invoice robot enter the orders and invoices, and a generative line turns each part record into a dealer-ready listing.

The review

Every listing the line generates is reviewed before it publishes, in 3 passes at most. Past that, a person builds it by hand.

$6.5M+ returned

Dealers in 4 countries got listings they can sell, and payables returned $6.5M+.

RUN · THE LAYER

Payables returned $6.5M+ across 4 countries.

The same cycle runs in 4 countries, on one layer.

Every generated listing is reviewed. Past 3 passes, a person builds it by hand.

What the dealer gets

The dealer gets a photo and a description. The engineering record carried neither.

On accounts payable

Exceptions go to a person with the order and the invoice attached. Everything else settles without one.

A person sees every payables exception and every generated listing.

DECIDE · THE RULE

The line publishes nothing a person has not seen.

Every image and description the line generates passes review before publish, bounded to 3 passes. Past that, a person builds the listing by hand.

4 countries run the same cycle on one layer.

Payables robots and the catalog line share that one layer.
