Since 2000, we’ve helped clients recover over €500 million in missed payments, unused credits, unclaimed rebates, and invoice discrepancies. These aren’t just numbers; they represent hidden value we’ve uncovered inside complex global businesses. And behind every recovered euro is a simple goal: make the purchase-to-pay (P2P) process work better.
Because even in the most advanced companies, things slip through. Invoices fall between systems. Discounts are forgotten. Vendors send duplicates. Reconciliation gaps go unnoticed.
That’s where we come in.
25 Years, 500+ Clients, 300 Million Invoices
This year, Transparent turns 25. A milestone that gives us time to reflect not only on what we’ve achieved, but what we’ve learned from doing it.
In that time, we’ve partnered with over 500 global companies and reviewed more than 300 million invoices. We’ve built our footprint across Europe, North America, and Africa, with a team fluent in over 34+ languages and a shared mission: to simplify P2P, uncover value, and support finance teams worldwide.
What started as a recovery audit business has evolved into a full-service partner in P2P optimization, backed by our proprietary technology: Qlarity.
Why Recovery Is Still Relevant in 2025
With all the talk of automation and AI, you’d think errors would be a thing of the past. But the reality is different: 1 in 5 invoices still triggers a manual exception in large enterprises. And behind those exceptions are bigger issues… process breakdowns, system mismatches, and data blind spots.
That’s why recovery audits still matter. Not just to reclaim money, but to expose root causes and turn exceptions into improvements.
This isn’t about catching errors; it’s about building more resilient processes.
Why Our Approach Works Across Industries
What makes our work effective across industries (from aviation to real estate, finance to telecoms) is that our approach stays consistent: We compare your records against your vendors’ records. We find what’s missing, fix what’s broken, and flag what could be improved. It’s simple in principle, but it’s heavy lifting in practice, requiring deep technical expertise, forensic-level data review, and strong supplier collaboration. We’ve poured all of that into our platform and approach.
And we do more than point out problems; we partner with clients to solve them at the root.
Looking Forward: Smarter, Simpler, More Human
Success isn’t just about more automation; it’s about smarter workflows and empowered teams. The best companies today aren’t just digitizing: they’re rethinking processes, aligning people and tech, and addressing issues at the source.
Because after 25 years, one thing is clear: real impact happens when you combine tech with human insight and use both to empower finance teams to work better.
