A leading electronics manufacturer with production plants in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico, managing complex AP operations across multiple ERP systems, currencies, and frequent organizational changes.

The Challenge

The client faced significant challenges, including dual ERP systems (SAP and Lawson), multi-currency vendor spend, decentralized documentation, ERS complexity, and ongoing system and staffing transitions. These factors created frequent gaps in controls and exposed the company to financial risk.

Our Approach

Broniec deployed a team skilled in navigating multi-system environments and performed comprehensive audits across duplicate and erroneous payments, open credits, freight, pricing errors, trade discounts, and debit balances. Custom data mining techniques were applied to reconcile formatting discrepancies and ERS-specific identifiers. Broniec also supported the client during ERP transitions to minimize disruption and capture at-risk recoveries.

The Results

Over the course of the partnership, Broniec recovered more than $7.5 million, with individual audits producing recoveries exceeding $1 million. Beyond recoveries, audits uncovered control weaknesses, improved AP visibility, and strengthened compliance. When ten states initiated an unclaimed property audit, Broniec’s remediation support reduced the client’s estimated $40.8M liability to less than one cent per dollar—a result that saved millions and protected the company from long-term financial and reputational damage.
