Facing over a million deductions from big-box retailers like Walmart, Target, Kroger, and Costco, Danone North America managed to claw back a staggering $25.5 million. Their secret? AI Agents and automated tools that sift through customer data and workflows to validate every deduction.  Something that would have taken thousands of hours to do manually and would have been incredibly difficult to do thoroughly.

In this webinar, Danone North America shares its recent case study, offering a deep dive into a live, large-scale transformation and demonstrating how an integrated accounts receivable (A/R) process can free up cash flow and reduce operational bottlenecks. They’ll share tangible results, proven workflows, and hard metrics (not hypothetical scenarios), so listeners can see exactly how AI works in practice!
