About Cupertino Electric

Cupertino Electric is a leading electrical engineering and construction company specializing in designing and installing first-of-their-kind electrical systems. With a reputation for delivering innovative solutions across industries, Cupertino Electric helps clients overcome complex infrastructure challenges and achieve their vision. 

The Challenge

Processing 8,000 invoices manually each month was resource intensive. In addition, Cupertino Electric needed a platform that would not only automate AP but also deliver supply chain efficiency. Any platform would need to: 

• Enable straight-through invoice processing – reducing manual AP intervention 

• Ensure fast supplier payments – to keep projects on track and avoid supply chain disruptions 

• Eliminate invoice exceptions – to improve efficiency and supplier relationships 

• Support next-day delivery purchasing – ensuring orders could be fulfilled rapidly 

• Integrate seamlessly with existing EDI infrastructure – allowing suppliers to connect using their preferred systems 

Without automation, delays in invoice processing impacted project timelines, made cash flow forecasting difficult, and limited the company’s ability to secure supplier discounts.

After a comprehensive vendor search, Cupertino Electric selected Transcepta to streamline and transform their AP and supply chain connectivity processes.

The Impact
