BERNER Group Relies on AI-Driven Invoice Automation with xSuite

The SAP-certified, highly integrated solution meets all the requirements of German and European legislation on electronic invoices.

Ahrensburg/Künzelsau/Köln, Germany – March 7, 2025. The BERNER Group, an innovative manufacturer of chemical products and a leading European trading company for mobility, construction and industry professionals, decided to implement xSuite. The AI-driven solution will be used to automate incoming invoice processing. It will initially be introduced at the B2B specialist’s Benelux entities, followed by successive roll-outs in other European countries.

The central B2B trading partner BERNER Group provides its services to customers 24/7 in 21 countries, delivering an integrated omni-channel shopping experience across five channels. With modern logistics centers in twelve countries and close to 100 depots or craftsman centers in metropolitan areas, the company is one of only two providers in the industry to boast a Europe-wide distribution network.

Procurement and all associated accounting processes depend on a high degree of speed and flexibility. This is why the BERNER Group has decided to replace its previous invoice capture and workflow solution with xSuite. The manufacturer impressed thanks to its comprehensive e-invoicing capabilities for outgoing and incoming invoices, extensive industry experience, excellent support and unrivaled value for money.

Sven Spitz, Head of Finance & HR Solutions at the BERNER Group: “The highly modern xSuite software allows us to standardize and efficiently design our invoicing processes. The solution supports all SAP operating models, so we are set up for years to come. And thanks to artificial intelligence and cloud support, we will be able to significantly reduce our administrative expense.”

The solution will initially go live in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. It will then be introduced in other European subsidiaries of the BERNER Group in stages. The SAP-certified, integrated solution fully complies with the stringent requirements of German and European legislation on electronic invoicing. The data capturing of all incoming invoices is processed via the xSuite cloud service. The solution also draws on AI functions to automatically capture and assign invoices that are not based on a purchase order.
