Shipbuilding in the cloud
Shipbuilding company STX France is now automating the processing of 50,000 supplier invoices with the cloud-based accounts payable solution from Esker, a leading provider of automated document processing solutions and a pioneer in cloud computing.
STX France has fully integrated the new solution into its SAP system. The company is one of the international market leaders in the design, manufacture, construction and commissioning of specialized and offshore vessels.
In 2013, the shipyard in Saint-Nazaire (France) received the order from Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. to build the Harmony of the Seas - the largest cruise ship in the world. Thanks to Esker, STX France can now process twice as many invoices, especially those for the Harmony of the Seas project.
