J.J. Taylor Companies Inc. Undergoes Invoice Process Automation with Medius

Medius streamlines invoice processes with AP Automation solutions

New York City, 1 December 2021 – J.J. Taylor Companies Inc., a beer distributor headquartered in Minnesota and Florida, successfully deployed Medius Capture and AP Automation solutions to streamline and automate their invoice capture and management processes.

J.J. Taylor turned to Medius after using a legacy document management tool which required mostly manual processes. J.J. Taylor had no rule-based automation, machine learning or analytics of any kind to effectively handle the huge volume of invoices from their diverse supplier base, including bulky invoices from their high quantity suppliers.


Making metrics and automation a priority, J.J. Taylor focused on finding a more modern solution to capture and process invoices. However, the beer distributor needed this functionality fast. Medius’ partnership with data management solution provider ENZO Unified, a prior partner to J.J. Taylor, resulted in a fast yet simple API integration to ensure customer satisfaction.

“Medius was the most sensible solution for J.J. Taylor. Their trust in standardized technologies like REST APIs and their willingness to work with integration partners like ENZO, meant that we could turn Medius into the enablement platform we were hoping to get,” said Andrew Timmons, Business Systems Analyst at J.J. Taylor, “We are able to handle more invoices efficiently, creating all around satisfaction for our employees and suppliers.”

Through the integration, J.J. Taylor successfully achieved high touchless rates in strategic areas including keeping record of its SKU population, diversifying its suppliers, gaining complete control of the invoice management process and efficiently identifying problem suppliers and process bottlenecks. Furthermore, the integration achieved with J.J. Taylor is an effective, repeatable connection that has been proven to duplicate at nearly any Beer Distribution organization using eoStar warehouse management solutions.

“Our solutions were strategically designed to make AP processes simpler. Medius Capture combines invoice data capture and invoice data functionalities that provides a superior end-to-end user experience that cannot be compared to any competitors on the market,” said Shannon Kreps, Vice President of Marketing Communications and Product Marketing at Medius, “Our AP Automation solutions completely rid businesses of time-consuming manual processes that receive and process invoices in an automated, trackable fashion.”

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
