The Company

A global leader in packaged foods

Riverton Foods has grown from a regional supplier into a national brand with products on millions of shelves. The company prides itself on balancing scale with quality, investing in sustainable sourcing and innovative product lines to meet changing consumer demand.

With a vast vendor network and complex distribution channels, Riverton’s financial operations must run flawlessly to avoid disruptions. Every delay or error in vendor payments risks impacting production schedules and straining supplier relationships.

The challenge

Manual processes created costly bottlenecks

Before Vectura, Riverton’s finance team relied on a patchwork of spreadsheets and outdated ERP modules. Invoice approvals often dragged on for weeks, while discrepancies between procurement and finance records led to frequent disputes with vendors.

Finance managers spent hours reconciling mismatched data across systems, leaving little time for forward-looking analysis. These inefficiencies were more than an annoyance — they drove up costs, hurt supplier trust, and created risk across Riverton’s supply chain.

“We knew we couldn’t keep growing with the level of inefficiency we had. Vendor disputes were becoming a weekly issue, and our team was buried in reconciliations instead of planning. Vectura gave us the control and visibility we needed to finally break that cycle.”

The Solution

Modern infrastructure for vendor management

Vectura was rolled out across Riverton’s finance department to centralize procurement, approvals, and vendor payments in one unified system. Instead of juggling spreadsheets and siloed ERP modules, finance managers could track spending in real time and resolve discrepancies before they became disputes.

Approval workflows that once stalled for weeks were automated and standardized, giving procurement teams the agility to respond quickly to changing supply needs. Vendor communication also improved, with clearer visibility into invoice status and fewer points of friction.

The Results

Clarity across the supply chain

Within the first year, Riverton gained real-time visibility into more than $3.1M of procurement spend. Vendor invoices that once took weeks to approve are now processed in days, and invoice disputes dropped by 42%.

Finance staff who previously spent afternoons on reconciliation now use that time to model costs, forecast demand, and strengthen supplier relationships. Instead of slowing down operations, finance became an enabler of smoother production and stronger vendor trust.

Key outcomes include:

$3.1M procurement spend tracked with transparency
42% fewer vendor invoice disputes
Faster invoice approvals, reducing delays across supply chain
