Truck Country is a group of commercial medium and heavy-duty truck and trailer dealerships that also offer vehicle maintenance, repair and training services. Their reach currently extends to nine states throughout the Midwest, with 24 branches in operation today.
Business processes in the commercial trucking industry are traditionally manual, with over 90% of dealerships still relying on paper today.
Truck Country was no exception. From part order forms to invoices to service contracts, paper documents were at the core of all business processes.
This was especially problematic for their accounts payable department, whose operations hinge on remote collaboration between local employees and corporate staff in Dubuque, Iowa. Each location was required to box and ship their invoices to headquarters every week, which added up to about $15-20 per location, per week–or nearly $25,000 annual expense in shipping costs alone.
As the cost of manual processes continued to rise, leadership acknowledged the need for a more efficient and fiscally sustainable solution.

Truck Country began by implementing DocuPhase’s document management system. This eliminated hundreds of thousands of physical documents and gave employees instant access to files through a single, easily searchable repository.
They then turned to DocuPhase for help digitizing their accounting processes. Through seamless integration with their dealer management system, Excede, DocuPhase’s AP automation solution streamlined their debit/credit memo creation and invoicing workflows from end-to-end.
DocuPhase’s electronic record storage and business process automation solutions have enabled Truck Country to expand to four new locations without increasing their corporate headcount. Employees can accomplish tasks more quickly and efficiently, and leadership has the visibility they need to pinpoint and rectify the root causes of process delays.
