The story
Redberry was founded in 2005 and has grown into one of the largest multi-brand QSR franchisees in the market — Burger King, Taco Bell, and Jersey Mike's — expanding from 150 stores in 2017 to 213 by 2025, with 600+ new stores in development.
Every acquisition brought a different AP workflow. The team was keying 80+ invoices a day by hand, and the pressure compounded with every new opening. They needed one AP layer that could span every brand and feed clean data into NetSuite — without adding people.
Before vs. after
What changed for the AP team
80+ invoices a day keyed by hand across three brands
Different AP workflows for Burger King, Taco Bell, and Jersey Mike's
Errors and fatigue rising as new stores came online
Staff stretched thin adding 50+ locations in two years
Invoices captured, coded, and posted to NetSuite automatically
One standardized AP workflow across all three brands
Per-brand training got every team live quickly
AP team absorbs new locations without new headcount
The results
Three outcomes that compounded
01
$180,000 saved every year
Automating invoice intake across 213 locations eliminated the manual work that was quietly eating the AP budget — savings Redberry redeploys into new store openings.
02
Scaled 100+ locations, zero AP hires
As Redberry grew from ~150 stores to 213, the AP team stayed the same size. Factura.ai + NetSuite simply absorbed the extra volume in the background.
03
One workflow across three brands
Burger King, Taco Bell, and Jersey Mike's each came with their own vendors and quirks. Customized training and a shared automation layer standardized AP without flattening what makes each brand run.
"Factura.ai took a lot of our day-to-day load away. We're really happy. Every time I talk to colleagues at other companies, I always recommend Factura.ai for their AP automation needs."
