Valenta has been named by US franchise platform 1851 Franchise as one of the Most Innovative Franchises of 2026. It is a recognition we are proud of, particularly because it is not only about our technology. It also recognises the way we approach entrepreneurship.

Valenta implemented a Digital Assistant that automates invoice creation, reads remittances, matches invoice numbers, reconciles payments, and flags exceptions for review. A custom operations dashboard provides real-time KPI tracking, actual vs. forecast visibility, and multi-segment financial reporting across the entire field network.

Every invoice had to be manually identified, classified, and processed, at a cost of 5 to 10 minutes per document, with a high risk of errors across more than 200 supplier formats.
