How SENSIT cut invoice processing time by 50% with Continia Document Capture
About the company
At SENSIT Technologies in Valparaiso, Indiana, precision isn’t just a goal—it’s the company’s DNA. For more than 40 years, SENSIT has designed and manufactured gas leak detection instruments, combustible gas indicators, and air quality monitoring solutions used to protect people, property, and the environment. Their products help customers detect hazardous gases fast and accurately.
But inside SENSIT’s own finance department, one process had become anything but precise: accounts payable.

The challenge
When “business as usual” takes up too much time
Before moving to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, SENSIT’s AP workflow was paper invoices and packing slips that moved across desks and departments. Every step depended on someone physically handling a document.
Warehouse staff stamped and logged packing slips. Accounting retyped data into spreadsheets and manually matched invoices. And approvals were just as hands-on, with the CFO reviewing and signing off on invoices in person.
“It was very, very time-consuming. It was a paper-based, manual system.”
— Logan Fullenkamp, ERP Implementation Specialist at SENSIT
The result was predictable: repetitive work, frequent handoffs and errors that crept in during data entry. At the same time documents could go missing in the shuffle, and all this led to invoice batches routinely swallowing up hours every day. Hours the team couldn’t spend on higher-value finance work.
The solution
Built into Business Central: A cleaner way forward
When SENSIT partnered with ArcherPoint to transition to Business Central, the timing was right to modernize AP at the same time. ArcherPoint recommended Continia Document Capture to automate invoice processing from day one.
Document Capture was implemented at go-live and woven directly into user training, so the team could start working in a digital, automated way immediately. With OCR scanning, purchase order matching, and approval workflows running inside Business Central, the finance team no longer had to rely on paper trails or manual keying.
Fullenkamp recalls how quickly the new process clicked:
“Once we were trained, it was super easy to use. Very seamless to implement.”

The result
The daily payoff: hours saved, errors reduced
The impact showed up fast in the daily routines: Invoice processing time dropped by more than 50%. Matched invoices that once required manual checks and entry are now completed in about 30 seconds. Around 85% of PO-related invoices are automatically matched, dramatically cutting the need for re-keying and the back-and-forth that slows approvals.
“Before, it took two to three hours each day to invoice; now it takes one to two. There’s less keying in, it’s less error-prone.”
— Logan Fullenkamp, ERP Implementation Specialist at SENSIT
With real-time invoice previews, automated approvals, and AI-driven capture accuracy, AP became a smooth digital flow instead of a daily paper chase.
And SENSIT didn’t stop at vendor invoices. By taking advantage of another out of the box Document Category, they extended the same automation to sales orders, saving roughly three hours per month for one high-volume customer.
"Document Capture is a powerful tool. It recognizes items and totals, matches invoices automatically, and saves time so employees can focus on higher-value tasks."

In summary
More than speed: better control and happier teams
Automating AP created a ripple effect beyond time savings.
The CFO no longer needs physical invoices to approve payments. Approvals happen digitally with clear audit trails and proper segregation of duties. Compliance is stronger. Visibility is better. And morale improved because the team could finally let go of repetitive manual tasks.
As Fullenkamp shared, people were eager—and excited—to move to an automated process. For SENSIT, Document Capture became more than a way to speed up invoicing. It helped protect time, improve accuracy, and bring structure to a process that used to drain energy every day.
