About Edsal
For more than 65 years, Edsal has been a leader in steel shelving and cabinet solutions. Their products, trusted by homeowners and businesses across North America, are known for their durability and practicality. With over 1,400 employees and a strong U.S. presence, Edsal has built its reputation on quality and innovation.
But growth comes with challenges. For Edsal, an ever-increasing volume of invoices began to overwhelm their accounts payable (AP) team. Manual processes were no longer sustainable, and the team knew they needed to take action before falling prey to late payments, processing errors, and employee burnout. That’s when they turned to Nimbello to streamline their AP operations and reclaim valuable time for strategic initiatives.
The Challenge: A Growing Strain on AP Processes
Edsal’s expanding business meant more invoices and greater complexity.
-
Manual invoice processing slowed turnaround times.
-
Risk of errors and payment delays grew.
-
Vendor relationships could be strained.
-
AP staff faced repetitive workloads instead of strategic work.
The IT team also needed seamless integration with their Infor SyteLine ERP — something no off-the-shelf software could deliver.
“By integrating Nimbello, the manual efforts are significantly reduced.”
– Boris Goldenberg, Edsal’s Vice President of IT

-
Proof of Concept – Built a custom integration with Infor SyteLine, demonstrating the ability to access and process invoice data from anywhere.
-
Blueprint for Implementation – Documented workflows, user roles, and invoice rules, ensuring the system could handle complex PO matches and multi-receipt scenarios.
-
Testing & Rollout – Ran real-world invoice scenarios to validate accuracy and seamless data transfer into SyteLine.
-
Training – Provided hands-on training so the AP team could confidently manage and refine automation rules.
-
Post-Rollout Support – Continued collaboration, with thoughtful feature enhancements designed to benefit all clients.
