Background

Grupo Numar sought to automate its Accounts Payable process through a unified, comprehensive solution capable of serving more than 19 companies across multiple countries. The goal was to streamline operations and centralize control within a single system.

Key functional requirements included:

  • Automated receipt of electronic invoices from suppliers
  • Real-time validation of invoices with Costa Rica’s Ministry of Finance
  • Automation of the invoice approval workflow
  • Seamless integration with the group’s internal ERP system (Oracle)

This initiative reflects Grupo Numar’s commitment to operational efficiency, digital transformation, and scalable solutions across its regional footprint.

Solution

Following the successful implementation of DocuClass Payables, Grupo Numar has achieved significant operational improvements across its regional entities:

  • Elimination of duplicate payments
  • Streamlined invoice registration within the internal ERP system
  • Reduced processing costs and manual labor hours, thanks to the removal of:
    • Manual monitoring of email inboxes
    • Manual validation of electronic invoices with Costa Rica’s Ministry of Finance and other regulatory bodies
    • Manual data entry into the internal system
  • Standardized Accounts Payable processes across the entire group

This transformation has empowered Grupo Numar to operate with greater accuracy, efficiency, and scalability—laying the foundation for continued digital growth.

“In a world where technology advances at a rapid pace, staying at the forefront is essential to remain competitive. DocuClass has proven to be a company truly committed to our group’s evolving needs. Their flexibility and responsiveness to our requests have been nothing short of exceptional.” — Karen Méndez Salazar, Accounts Payables Leader
