Intelligent automation, enabled by AI + PI, is transforming Finance operations
BARCELONA, MUNICH, and NEW YORK, October 7, 2025 – Celonis, a global leader in Process Mining, and Glovo, one of the leading tech platforms across Europe, Central Asia and Africa, today announced their successful partnership to transform Glovo’s Accounts Payable (AP) and Accounts Receivable (AR) processes with AI and Process Intelligence (PI).
“Historically, Finance professionals have spent considerable time on manual data entry, reconciliation, and moving information between disconnected systems - processes prone to error and lacking in strategic contribution,” said Fernando Ranz, Vice President and Country Leader for Iberia and Latin America at Celonis. “Celonis fundamentally changes this dynamic by empowering teams with AI and PI.”
Using the Celonis Process Intelligence platform, Glovo is optimizing cash flow and accelerating productivity by:
- Preventing incorrect payments: The Duplicate Invoice Checker App detects and manages duplicate invoices using AI-driven matching and real-time ERP integration.
- Optimizing payments: The Payment Term Checker App highlights discrepancies between accounting documents, POs, and vendor master data to optimize payment term usage.
- Improving net cash flow: The Open Credit Memo App optimizes memo management, monitoring and prioritizing open memos based on value, aging, and risk of write-offs.
- Increasing automation: Intelligent Payment Reminders de-silo and unify invoice data, predict overdue payments, and accelerate collections with proactive reminders—created with Action Flows.
The outcome—a Finance team that can focus more on analyzing trends, identifying opportunities for efficiency improvements, providing deeper insights, and driving significant value.
“With Celonis, we’ve been able to intelligently automate the repetitive, time-consuming tasks in AP and AR,” said Carles Rosàs, VP of Finance at Glovo. “This allows our team to spend less time on manual data entry and system transfers, and more time focusing on strategic work that drives our company’s growth and profitability.”
Celonis makes this possible by combining process data from Glovo’s systems and enriching it with business context to create a living digital twin of business operations. This twin is at the heart of the Celonis platform and provides a common language (-> Process Intelligence) for understanding and improving how the business runs. Teams, augmented by AI that knows how the business flows thanks to PI, can optimize processes and orchestrate operations.
"Our Celonis deployment was championed by our Data Team, whose deep understanding of both our business and technology landscape helped us to deliver value with incredible speed," said Shiro Theuri, Chief Technology Officer at Glovo. “Celonis enabled us to go beyond the dashboard and build automations that drive real business impact.”
