Neumayer Equipment Gains Speed, Visibility, and Cost Savings with Yooz 

Neumayer Equipment is a St. Louis-based company with more than 90 years of experience building and servicing gas stations, supporting underground piping projects, and expanding into EV charging infrastructure.  

Processing approximately 2,500 invoices each month in Sage 100, operational efficiency is critical to keeping the business running smoothly while supporting growth and the evolving business lines.  

The Challenge: A Time-Consuming, Paper-Driven Process  

As Neumayer grew, its accounts payable process fell behind. AP remained heavily paper-based, with invoices handled, matched, approved, and entered manually. This created ongoing friction across the business:  

  • Limited visibility into invoice status  
  • Slow, manual approvals dependent on paper routing  
  • Greater risk of errors from manual rekeying  
  • Missed early pay discounts due to delays  

The result was an AP process stuck in reactive mode, focused on keeping up rather than driving value.  

The  Solution: Intelligent AP Automation with Yooz   

Neumayer selected Yooz to bring true automation to AP with seamless Sage 100 integration. This replaced manual processes with a more efficient, scalable approach.  

With Yooz, the team implemented:  

  • AI- powered invoice capture and data extraction  
  • Built-in validation rules to prevent errors before they occur  
  • Configurable workflows aligned with internal processes  
  • Real-time visibility across the entire invoice lifecycle  

These capabilities eliminated manual data entry, reduced errors, and brought structure and consistency to AP operations.  

Equally important, Yooz’s intuitive interface helped simplify adoption, enabling the team to realize value quickly. Workflows were tailored to match how AP needed to function, without workarounds or third-party tools, while a collaborative implementation ensured ongoing optimization as the team embraced automation.  

The Results: Faster, More Accurate, and Fully Visible AP  

With Yooz, Neumayer transformed its AP function in a matter of months, turning a fragmented, manual process into a streamlined, high-visibility operation that drives better decision-making and efficiency across the business.  

“Approvals are a lot faster, and we’re better positioned to capture early pay discounts thanks to Yooz,” stated Jake Burkhardt, IT Project Coordinator for Neumayer.  

The impact goes beyond speed. With automated workflows, built-in validation, and real-time visibility, the team has reduced errors, eliminated manual bottlenecks, and gained greater control over the invoice lifecycle. Most importantly, AP has shifted from reactive processing to proactive financial management. As Burkhardt explains: “You go from being reactive to having the ability and time to be proactive.”  

With more time, visibility, and confidence, the team is no longer keeping up but actively improving financial outcomes.
