From manual vendor documents
to autonomous AP automation
Asian Paints processed POs, invoices, delivery notes, and DANs from 22,000+ vendors manually. A Nanonets agent now classifies, extracts, reconciles, and imports every document into SAP end-to-end.
Asia's third-largest paint manufacturer, Fortune 500 India company founded in 1942, producing industrial coatings and consumer paints across 14 countries.
The Problem
Asian Paints' accounts payable team manually processed vendor documents — purchase orders, tax invoices, delivery notes, and DANs — from over 22,000 suppliers. Each document required manual identification, data extraction, and entry into SAP.
- —Varying vendor formats across 22,000+ suppliers made standardized processing impossible.
- —Manual CSV compilation of extracted fields introduced errors and consumed ~192 team hours per month.
- —Payment delays from scattered documents across email and SAP slowed the entire AP cycle.

OutlookNanonets played a pivotal role in the journey of account payables automation at Asian Paints. Document extraction was key to the overall automation. In addition, it also led to Employee Delight through faster submission and processing of Employee Reimbursement claims.
The solution
One agent orchestrating classification, extraction, and reconciliation. Fully automated.
Nanonets replaced the manual document loop with one autonomous agent. The agent orchestrates five sub-agents which each own one step of the pipeline — from ingestion through SAP import — and know when to pass documents through and when to route discrepancies back to vendors.
