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 process 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 for the design, manufacture, construction and commissioning of special and offshore vessels.
In 2013, the shipyard in Saint-Nazaire (France) received an order from Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. to build Harmony of the Seas - the largest cruise ship in the world. Thanks to Esker, STX France can now process twice the amount of invoices, especially those for the Harmony of the Seas project.
